The broadcaster, biologist, natural historian, author and advocate for the natural world is 97.

Attenborough is also very dear to my heart because, as well as my Grandad, he was the love of my wonderful late Nan’s life.

Happy Birthday Sir David! πŸ₯‚

The world would have been a sadder place without Sir David's wonderful television programmes.
Happy birthday Sir David!

Sorry, 97 second BBC tribute.

I feel so so sorry for him- he knows he has not got long to live, and that all his efforts to try and make the world listen to the dire warnings about climate all around us- have fallen on deaf ears- especially those that count. He has given it his all - and knows he has failed. So so sad.

What an amazing and wonderful man.

Happy Birthday Sir David. Thanks for all your efforts. Your TV programs are so watchable, they have helped us to see what us happening.

oh yes- but what have we actually DONE about it ???

An absolute icon, not only in broadcasting terms, but also in his determined commitment to promote defence of the natural world. His autobiography, "Life on Air", makes a fascinating read, and is also available on audio book. Happy Birthday, Sir David.

I’m so sorry that you feel this way.

Happy Birthday to a hero, and a man who presents a wonderfully positive view of ageing.

Oh my, that is a great age, and I believe still quite active?
He is an icon, and has had a remarkable career. Everyone I know loves and recognizes his voice on beautiful documentaries about life on this planet.
