Peter Diamond
Remembered by
Andrew Miles
It is with great sadness and I'm not
ashamed to say a few tears, that I would like to let you know that Peter Diamond
has sadly passed away.
I have to say as I write, I am shattered by the news. Peter has been a personal
friend for many years. He was the man who showed me what the perfect Gentleman
looked like. At over 80 years old, he would still stand up and give his seat to
a lady on a tram!
He was so proud of Blackpool, "The Showbiz capital of England". I was fortunate
to see the Tower Circus, Hot Ice and The Craig Christian show with Peter -
memories of galloping down the Promenade of Blackpool in a horse drawn cart will
stay with me forever! I believe if there had been a time to have been born to
see the best of magic, it was in Peter' lifetime!
As an Aircraft engineer and fabulous model boat maker, Peter give his love and
talent to magic. In my opinion he was magic's greatest maker! I would like to
thank Peter Diamond for sharing his stories of his life in magic, for his
un-wavering friendship, and for making my phenomenal props, which I will
treasure forever! When the lights of Blackpool illuminated this year, I know his
spirit will be there. Magic's just lost a legend, I'm missing you already Peter
Diamond.
Magically yours for eternity, your friend,
Andrew Miles.
