I am sad to announce that just weeks after I visited Peter Coleman at his home and carried out the interview about his memories which I have been transcribing to this website, Peter became ill and died.
His funeral was at Carrs Lane United Reformed Church on 7th May 2008 and I understand that short excerpts edited from the interview by Peter's son David, were played during the service.
Peter was a lovely, gentle man who lived opposite me and my family with his wife Cicely on Aubrey Road in the Quinton area for many years. It was only recently I learnt he went to KEFW and more recent still that I found out he had been one of the Monmouth boys.
I will miss seeing Peter coming out of his home and I wish to convey my sympathies to Cicely and their children and grand children. I am very pleased to have had the privilege of recording his voice and his memories, both for this project about the Monmouth experience and also as a lasting record for his family.
