It is with great sadness, and a tear in my eye, that I have to report that Peter Saunders sadly passed away during the afternoon. As one member put it, he has been a silent hero at the Serpentine, quietly getting on with the jobs he had taken on without fuss, nor thought of reward. Most of us will remember him for the special affection he held for the swans, geese, ducks and herons that he fed daily for years, working out what food they liked, and bringing small lumps of cheddar along for his favourite heron; they too will miss him. Peter, you will be greatly missed by all, and we thank you for your lifetime of service and friendship to the Serpentine Swimming Club.
