Peter Moore was London's official town crier for 31 years.

70 year old Peter died the day after appearing at the Mayor of Southwark's Christmas reception in 2009.

Peter took part in every New Year's Day parade in London since they bagan, and was due to receive a lifetime achievement award this year. The award will now be given posthumously.

The Southwark mayor, Jeff Hook, said he was shocked by Mr Moore's death and described him as "a really kind and caring person who strived to carry out his official duties when not enjoying the best of health".

In his younger days Peter worked as an actor before being asked to act as a town crier for an event in the 1970s.

some times you do things in life you enjoy,
some times you do things in life because you care,
