THE spectacular send-off given to former RAF loadmaster Peter Tyas who died at the weekend said a lot about the kind of man he was.
Only somebody special would have inspired his friends to organise an aerial salute by two Hercules aircraft.
Peter will obviously be remembered with respect and affection by many people.
But nobody will miss him more than his partner Carol Phillips, who was to have married him next month, and his two daughters.
We send them our sympathy. They will have many happy memories to treasure.
