Peter is described by police as white, 5ft 8in, and slim, with short brown hair. He had a goatee beard and he was also carrying a rucksack when last seen.

He travelled by train from Angmering to Brighton on that Tuesday morning, and had told a neighbour that he was going to visit relatives in Sutton, South London.

He then got a train from Brighton due to go to London Victoria, though it is not yet known where he got off.
