My reaction, unsurprisingly, is one of restrained sadness. Peter was a great man and a great scientist. He made essential contributions to modern physics, which were recognised by our field very early on, but took a long time to be rewarded with a well-deserved Nobel Prize. Peter took this great recognition at the end of his career with calm and humour, as was typical of him. He was highly regarded by all, not only as a scientist, but also as a teacher, lecturer and an excellent person. He lived a long and very productive life, which is always a comfort.
