Tributes to Peter Lincoln

4:31pm Tuesday 6th May 2008

THE HEARTBROKEN parents of a teenager killed after being hit by a car on a motorway have paid tribute to their "happy-go-lucky" son.

Peter Lincoln, 16, of Evelyn Street, Burnley, was struck by a blue and grey Rover close to junction 17 of the M60 in Greater Manchester on Sunday at 7.30pm.

He was taken to Fairfield General Hospital in Bury but later died of his injuries.

Police believe Blessed Trinity RC College student Peter, who is autistic, was trying to return home from Manchester when the tragic accident happened.

Detectives think Peter, who was due to take his GCSEs this summer, may have been confused and wandered on to the busy motorway.

They are now quizzing witnesses of the collision as they try to piece together what happened, although no charges are to be brought against the driver.

Peter's father, Peter Snr, said: "He was such a happy-go-lucky child, who has been through so much in his short life.

"He was football and computer-mad and a big Manchester United fan. He loved Ronaldo.

"He was looking forward to starting college in September after he finished his GCSEs at the end of this month."

Mum Angie added: "He was my soul mate and we are devastated at losing him.

"We are struggling to come to terms with this."

Many students at the 1,400-pupil Blessed Trinity RC College, Coal Clough Lane, Burnley, returned to school today in shock after learning of Peter's death.

Prayers were said in assemblies and teachers are to set up a book of condolence for the teenager.

Headteacher Bernadette Bleasdale said: "He was an extremely hard-working lad and he would do anything for anyone.

"He had a great sense of humour. He had lots of friends and he was willing to help and support anybody.

"Pupils here are in great sadness and great shock."

As well as being a huge football fan, Peter was also a keen snooker player.

He was a member of the Burnley Boys Club, Barden Lane, and he was runner-up in a snooker competition final there.

Club members are due to pay their own tribute to Peter with a minute's applause at the centre.

Meanwhile, prayers have been said by pupils at Peter's school and teachers were also due to set up a book of condolence.

Peter was reported missing by his family earlier on Sunday.

He was wearing a black hooded jumper, a red top, black jogging bottoms and black trainers at the time of his death.

Witnesses or anyone with information should contact police on 0161 856 1550.

i was there last night i blocked the lane with my car but didnt realise atfirst what had hapened. it is a terrible tradgedy and my deepest sympathy goes out to the boys family. dont kow how the driver of the car felt but i still havent slept since. the biggest thing that has kept me awake is he was between two bridges when he got hit & i cant work out why he did not cross the motorway by either and i will never know why . that is whats keeping me awake, and it will feel ten times worse for his poor family and the poor unfotunate driver who had no chance of avoidig him

Val is my mother, therefore, Peter was my cousin.
In the circumstances I find topcats comments completely inappropriate and disrespectful.
I know Peters parents well and I can assure everyone that they are as shocked as everyone to learn that their son was 25 miles from home.
For those of you that are parents I'm sure that you would agree with me that their loss must be almost unbearable.
There are times when it is best to keep personal opinions to yourself, and this topcat is one of those times!

thank you Stephen, his parents are in a real state of shock and had reported Peter missing to the police. I have every sympathy for the driver and anyone who saw the accident. Peter was a 16 year old boy but not good at rational thinking.Unfortunate

ly he was also in possession of a bus pass which he had took without his parents knowledge, they thought he was at his grandmas.

So sorry to hear this ive just read all the above comments and it isnt appropriate to say things about someones child.
i have 3 myself and all kids do things they shouldnt at times.
Its a sad thing to happen and people should show more compassion to the family not criticise,in the circumstances i should imagine the parents are devastated so all of you who have said nasty things should look at thereselves and think how they would feel if it was one of your children.

We have just read all of the comments on this page and feel truly disgusted by their content. Comments are being made by people that never had the privilege of knowing Peter Lincoln.
We did. Peter was a lovely, harmless boy with an infectious laugh and smile. No matter how or why he ended up on that motorway, the result was a tragedy. Please forget the 'how' or 'why'. A young boy has lost his life, and he and his family must be the only people in our thoughts and prayers. You will be very sadly missed Peter.

Peter is in a better place now and after reading most of the comments i am sure he is. the lad was cheaky but harmless both my children played with Peter and never had any bother with him.
some of you should be hanged for what you have wrote on this site, in fact if i was to meet you a hanging would be the easy way.
dont slag people off that you dont know nothing about.
my thoughts go out to the driver and the other people involved i hope that they can go on in life, but for Peter R.I.P mate.
also my depest sympathy to Peters Mum and Dad brother and 2 sisters.

This is turning into a slanging match. I too was on the M60 minutes after the accident had occured seeing the poor lad lying helpless on the road. For whatever reason the poor lad has become confused and for some reason ended up where he did. No one is to blame for incident it is a tragic accident and instead of pointing blame we should all be offering our deepest sympathies to Peters family and friends who have lost someone they loved and cherished.

We too passed that tragic accident -completely unavaoidable in such busy traffic.
My heart sank still further when I realised this was a lad the same age as my own but maybe too angry or depressed to care about himself or others. Perhaps he felt he had not done much with his short life, and now it was too late...
But now I know differently, and that thankfully his life -which must have been sometimes so hard -was rewarding and happy.
He was plainly much loved and incredibly well cared for by family, school and friends. You will all miss him terribly.

I will remember that jounrey clearly for a long time. But I know now about a remarkable young man who touched so many hearts in a such a short lifetime, and will also never forget him.

Peter attended St John's School until he was eight. We have such wonderful memories of a lovely lad with a wonderful sense of humour. Peter over came many hardships and worked hard and loved to please people. His family were the most amazing supportive people with whom the whole school had a really close realtionship. The news has hit our school hard because we worked really well with the family whilst they were here. The whole school was gathered in prayer and we will keep you in all in our prayers. I ask the family to find strength in the fact that you loved him so much and did so much for him in the short time you had him and also know that he marched straight into heaven and Jesus wiped his nose (as it was always running)
Sleep well Peter.

I only knew Peter from primary school (St Johns, Burnley) although he was in the year above, we seemed to get on. I can imagine how hard it was for him to move schools and make new friends. I always used to see him in the playground, a great big smile on his face. Every time I try to come to terms of his death I think if his huge smile and it helps me get through. When he became a prefect at primary school, he walked around and wore his badge with pride. The smile on his face was greater than ever before. Once he finished primary obviously he moved onto (St Theodore’s) that is when we stopped talking. Once the schools joined (Blessed Trinity) I saw him a few times in the corridors outside the Deli Bar, I didn't recognize him at first but I could remember the cheeky smile, we never talked though. I am most likely going to repeat this message in the condolence book at school. Peter I know you will already be doing this but make sure you entertain the angels and keep them smiling. But the whole point of this message is to really say good-bye and I am sorry for not keeping in touch with you! R.I.P Peter Lincoln, I love you Hun! When my day comes, I will come and see you! And that is a promise Charlotte (Blessed Trinity, YR 10) ****

Peter, I wish I could have told you again what a wonderful boy you were, you were brave and always smiling, I said "good morning" to you everyday and you replied with a moan and a smile happy to be going to school. I'll miss you so much, the school won't be the same without you.

Walking around with your "ten man" walk you developed into a very independent strong willed young man. Sleep well and entertain the angels as you entertained us at Blessed Trinity.

Look after us all.

this has truly shocked me that a funny courageous lad like peter who i only ever me t a few times at kelly's has lost his life so tragically, anyone who knows peters family will know just how much they adored him, they would haven given their lives for him and for anyone to ever say anything wrong towards them is not worth breathing the same air as them.
i truly hope that u dont ever have to go through the pain and sorrow that peters family are.

rest in peace peter xxx

Can't believe that i wrote a long note to Peter yesturday and it has not registered...lord only knows what happened to it....i just hope that it was sent to little Pete and thats why it didn't get logged!!!

the note in minature was just to thank you genuine people that have said some very nice, warming and sincere well wishes to our family... i am overwhelmed (and i speak on behalve of the family) at Peter for touching so many peoples hearts...on his short but very dramitic life!! you were very much your own person Pete...you had a rare quality that only you posses!! Christmas's will never be the same without you...as you, mathew, sarah, kelly, courntey, nicola, rebecca and recently Jammie traditionally gathered at mine and stef's to receive prezie's...we all looked forward to your honest reactions to the gifts...and thats what you were Pete...one of the most honest people that i have ever had the pleasure of meeting...as you never filted through what was politically correct or the right thing to say...you just said and did in at is was...like i said a very rare quality that i will whole heartedly miss!!

Hope you make as bigger impact up there as you did down here my dear...love you with ever peice of my heart...although i never told you (sadly) when you was down here!! again take care little Pete and never hold back up there either....just say it as it is...like you always have!! tatty byes for now!!

Many kisses and hugs(even though you hated them hehehe)
Tracey

p.s please respect our families wishes and please avoid displaying lillies or wreaths and no pledges given... thank you ever you all again **** and many hugs to you too!!!

peter was a good lad, i went to school with him, we may have had a few arguments with each other but we was always der for each other when we needed it. i used to look after peter when he was at school, but unfortunatly i left last year. when i found out about peter's death i was really upset. My thoughts go out to his family and the driver of the car. It is a shame that he pased away because i think he would have had a great life ahead of him, but he will always be in our thoughts and will always be remembered by all and by st. teds which was the school he attended. I miss the lad and just wish i could have said goodbye to him properly. It will not be the same without him but at least he is in a better place with god. i just wish that this whole tragidy didn't happen and that he was still with us now. I think he would have done really well in his exams if he was still alive now. As i said before i send my sympathy to the family and friends and if anyone needs any help i will be willing to offer it.
Thanks
R.I.P Peter i will never forget you lad, i wil always be thinking of you, and we will see you soon.
bye bye lad
