Sad but expected...he was in

Sad but expected...he was in declining health for years and his body was suffering.

Leia, Obi-Wan, Tarkin, Dooku...the list is growing larger of those who have passed on.

I'm told STFU more times in a day than most people get told in a lifetime

He will be remembered

at my old Motorcycle Club. Peter was a member of the South London Triumph Owners Motorcycle Club. I joined in 1976 which was when the original Star Wars was being filmed at Elstree. When filming was finished he turned up on a 350cc Triumph Twin. The bike looked so small when he sat on it.
His day job at the time was as a Porter at the Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane. Acting was a side line. Apparently George Lucas sat Peter when he stayed at the Hotel.
The success of the film meant that he was able to give up Portering.
