Peter, 58

This photo was taken on our 33rd Wedding Anniversary in Barcelona (we'd met as teenagers almost 40 years earlier!). It was our last holiday together. Peter had started the beginning of 2018 with such hope but that spiralled into despair soon after this photo was taken and our holiday ended - he made an unsuccessful suicide attempt just one month later and finally ended his life on the 29th December.

Family, friends and colleagues were so shocked at his loss, as he was such a character with a wicked sense of humour. To us, Peter will be remembered as a loving father and devoted grandfather. He was always "Babbo" to our grandsons.
