Readers give their memorial ideas

Nine-year-old James Smith would like to create a song in the memory of Sir Peter Blake - this is one of the many suggestions about how to honour the great man.

The Herald has received 330 ideas about the most appropriate way for his legacy to live on.

One idea that has grown in popularity is a memorial which includes One Tree Hill.

Annie Whitchurch from Takapu would like to see One Tree Hill renamed The Blake's Monument, "with a bronze statue of Sir Peter. He can overlook his city of sails even across to Bayswater where he was brought up".

Rhonda Troggs from Puhoi would like to see a special edition $32 note issued in Sir Peter's honour. "The 32 signifying the 1995 America's Cup winner NZL32. The note would be black on one side with a picture of Black Magic and Sir Peter holding yachting's greatest trophy aloft."
