The funeral will be followed by a private interment at Beeston Cemetery, for close family and invited friends and colleagues only.

Details of the wake are yet to be confirmed. The funeral cortege will pass through University Park between 11.15am and 12pm noon on Wednesday 1 March.

A map of the route is available to view online. Staff and students are encouraged to line the route to pay their respects to Sir Peter.

Sir Peter’s family have asked that rather than flowers those who want to can send a donation to the City Hospital Stroke Unit who cared for Sir Peter in his last few days. Donations can be made online.

The University has set up an online book of condolence and a picture gallery of Sir Peter through the years.
