Bruno Peek’s remarkable life as a national and international Pageantmaster over more than 30 years has been brought to life in a colourful and illustrative new website from TMS Media.
It follows one of the Norfolk man’s proudest and most spectacular moments as he inspired and coordinated the lighting of more than 4,200 beacons around the world on June 4th 2012 in celebration of The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
Bruno had the honour of passing the Jubilee Crystal Diamond to The Queen that night to enable her to light the National beacon at the end of the BBC concert, watched by a TV audience of millions.
But the website, masterminded by TMS Media in Great Yarmouth, captures his story right back to his first key commission in 1981 when he organised Operation Sea Fire, a chain of 90 beacon fires lit around our coast to launch Maritime England for the English Tourist Board.
Since then he has guided pageants and events across the country and in Europe and Sri Lanka and is keen that all his experience and expertise should be channelled into future projects.
For the last 12 years TMS art director Nick Marshall has been chronicling those events and that personal profile of Bruno’s life forms the basis of the website. In recent years, he was a key figure in The Fly a Flag for Our Armed Forces initiative and the Great Poppy Party Weekend.
“The website simply tells an online audience who I am and what I can do – and it is something I want to continue doing to involve as many people as possible in some of the most significant and important occasions across Britain or abroad,” said Bruno, who lives in Gorleston.
TMS managing director Steve Scott added: “People are sometimes surprised that Bruno hits the headlines so often. But that is because he has spent decades at the helm of headline-hitting events which encourage thousands of people to join in and enjoy national celebrations.”
