The journey home
Tuesday 10th June 2008, 2:58PM BST.
AMBULANCE staff formed a guard of honour on the Albert Pier yesterday in a moving tribute to a former colleague who died last week.
They were paying their respects as the body of 55-year-old Peter Le Sauteur was brought ashore following its journey from Guernsey on the St John Ambulance vessel The Flying Christine.
Mr Le Sauteur, who had retired five weeks before as a highly respected ambulance paramedic, died after becoming unwell shortly after diving around the Elizabethan wreck off the coast of Alderney on Sunday 1 June.
Yesterday Mr Le Sauteur’s body was accompanied back to Jersey by four of his former colleagues who had flown to Guernsey earlier in the day – station officer John Sutherland, who arranged the journey, leading paramedics Robert de la Cour and Eric Rolland and paramedic Andrew Langlois.
