Funeral 03 Sept 2020His grandson Ryan Stringer whom I first met in 2000 (now a fine looking gentleman) read our BCS school prayer which his Grandad ( Peter) would’ve liked. Ryan also wore Peter Sahib’s OCA UK Tie (that he designed whilst I was in the UK), BCS tie bar and cufflinks (pic attached).Peter was cremated wearing his BCS Blazer, OCA UK tie and BCS tie bar.The family expressed immense gratitude to see the SchoolFlag at half mast, a lovely touch and well received by all members. Explicitly Thanking Director Simon Weale för this gesture that coincided with the nation mourning the passing of President Pranab Mukerjee.Warmest Wishes and Kindest RegardsVivek BhasinLefroy House1961-1970

Peter never missed visiting Patiala during his visits to India. Was always a pleasure meeting him. Will miss him. Our condolences to his family. May his soul rest in peace. Amarjit Singh Jaijee.
Yes, Peter was a special Old Cottonian. He reached out to many of us and was keen to make and multiply contacts. I regret our correspondence fell through on account of my illness. Pete4 will be deeply missed. My heartfelt condolences to Sister Maggie who always filled in for Peter in letter writing. May dear Peter’s noble soul rest in the Lords cosy lap.
