    For as long as I can remember up until his retirement he was THE voice of racing, a consummate professional and never bettered...

    I'm no racing fan, but he was a master of his art.

    RIP

    97! Now that was a good innings.

    Can still hear his voice even 18 years after he retired.

    97! That was some race!
    Not a racing fan, but he was the voice of the sport.

    Me too but Sir Peter's voice was ubiquitous whether you liked racing or not. RIP Sir Peter, the voice of racing.

    I was at Aintree in the 80's around the winners enclosure, knew instantly he was behind me when I heard his voice. R I P
