99 Years old!


David Attenborough born 8th May 1926, the same year as Queen Elizabeth 2nd, An amazing man well known for his interest in the living world of animals. He's had 2 Knighthoods, won many Bafta awards and is loved by all.
He has presented many, many films about animals and climate change, the first in 1954 called Zoo Quest, which involved filming animals in captivity and the wild and launched him as a TV presenter. And he has carried on for several decades. I'm sure if you've seen any you'll have your favourite. I think mine was one he did with gorillas  in the jungle, cavorting around as one of them. 

I've been looking him up and honestly I couldn't do him proud on my humble blog, to list his achievements, there are so many, so I'll leave it up to you to research yourself, should you wish.
All I want to say is, even though he is this brilliant man, those who know him say he is kind, considerate and loyal. 
So a thoroughly nice man.
Anyone who treats animals like he does, is more than just nice in my opinion. 
Happy Birthday Sir David Attenborough!

I think the term 'national treasure' is over-used, but Sir David Attenborough really is one.

He and his brother Richard have given generously to their old school in Leicester - now a 6th form college- and my daughters both benefitted from their time there. So much quiet goodness from this lovely man

He has led so many PBS nature shows over the decades. He's a very well spoken man and we wish him a Happy 99th.
