Peter Steven Lindars passed away on April 20, 2015 and was laid to rest on Tuesday, May 12 following a service to celebrate his life at St Andrews Church, Waterloo Street, Hove attended by hundreds of people.

He was born to Maeve Lindars and the late Michael Cheevers on July 2 1970, at North Middlesex Hospital in Edmonton.

He attended Chesterfield Junior and then Enfield Grammar schools, before leaving school to work for Bairstow Eves Estate Agency in London.

Having worked in the estate agency business for a number of years, first in London then more recently in Brighton. Peter changed direction with his career in 2004 and became co-owner of The Iron Duke Hotel on Waterloo Street in Hove entering into business first with Bob Evans, then with Gerald Featherstone, before successfully running the pub and hotel on his own for the last few years.

He entered into a civil partnership with Greg Clark in 2011, and they had lived together in Hove since 2004.

Peter was a keen runner and ran more than ten half and full marathons in the last eighteen months of his life, both as a personal goal and to raise money for various charities he supported.

He was a great supporter and friend of the Actually Gay Men’s Chorus who rehearsed and gave performances in St Andrew Church in Waterloo Street and used the Iron Duke for social purposes after choir rehearsals.

He leaves an older brother, Mike Cheevers, and a younger half-sister, Emma Lindars.
