We are sad to announce the death of Liveryman Peter Waters aged 80 years. Peter became a Liveryman in 2006. His daughter Vera informed the Livery that it was very sudden, and he passed away peacefully at East Surrey Hospital surrounded by family. She also said “My Father very much enjoyed his time with you (WCSIM) as a Liveryman of the City of London (a place he once worked in, knew well and loved), and the wonderful dinners He attended with my Mother Angelika. He was proud to be part of The Worshipful Company Of Scientific Instrument Makers. We are doing alright, my Mother and I, despite missing my Father terribly, but it is a comfort to know that he is at peace. Bumbling along, but slowly getting things all in order, and tackled one by one. ”
Liveryman Peter Frederick Waters 26.02.1946-30.06.2026

Our visit coincided with the opening of the Institute’s new exhibition centre, making the day particularly memorable. We were warmly welcomed by Oktay Asanov, who gave us an excellent tour of the Institute’s collaborative workspaces and laboratories, showcasing the cutting-edge research that is advancing our understanding of life itself.
