A much-loved photographer who served a North London weekly for almost 50 years has died aged 76. Tributes have been paid to Peter Beal, who joined the Hendon Times aged 19 and spent the next five decades documenting life across North London and Borehamwood. He retired in 2018 and died at his home in Temple Fortune, near Golders Green, on 28 March. She added: “He was humble and didn’t want any recognition – he just wanted to do the job he loved. “He would go to the end of the earth for you and make you feel safe without making you feel small.”
