A funeral service for Peter will take place at 2.30pm on Monday 19 June at the Parish Church in Long Ashton, and former colleagues are very welcome to attend. This service follows a family-only cremation service in the morning.
Family flowers only please, but donations to the Alzheimers Society or to the National Deaf Children's Society would be welcome.
