Peter Meagher, who was working as a freelance photographer at the Bondi Beach “Chanukah by the Sea” event, has been named as one of the 15 victims to have lost their lives as a result of the Sydney terror attack.

Meagher, known as “Marzo”, was a central and perennial figure at Randwick Rugby Club, where he “was a much-loved figure and absolute legend in our club”, according to Mark Harrison, the club’s general manager.

“With decades of voluntary involvement, he was one of the heart and soul figures of Randwick Rugby”, Harrison said.

Meagher had served as one of the club’s top-flight manager since 2018 and was also a “well-known and respected” referee.
