Peter gets a brief mention at the end of this article but it is the first instance of Geriatric1927 being mentioned in the same article as the Queen, so I feel it has relevance.

Time Magazine’s 2006 “Person of the Year” issue featured many YouTube celebrities, Peter was mentioned and pictured in this issue. No online version of the article is available that I can find, if you know where I might locate it, please contact me.

An older article from the London Times which mentions Peter.

The list could go on and on, but this is the more relevant content, older articles require that I delve into greater research, which I shall attempt to do at a later date.
