BBC Orchestra tonight and much more. A joyous day to celebrate Sir David Attenborough

I’m really enjoying the birthday tribute from the Albert Hall. I wasn’t expecting to feel so emotional but… 🥲

Just watching this now, what a wonderful antidote to all that’s grim and depressing in today’s world.smile

When he passes on it will feel like when the Queen died, both been here all our lives. Hope he has a wonderful birthday, such an exceptional man!

I dont think this was a nice way to refer to someone who is not ill but I know you meant well.

I could never compare the the absence of David with the absence of the Queen.

🎈This is a festive, celebratory day. Stop the grimness 🙏

I felt emotional too.

One of the best programmes I have ever watched on television, and I've been watching TV programmes since I was eight.

The delivery of the birthday card from King Charles to Sir David was just inspired!! 😁

Hankies out time towards the end. I also don't think I've enjoyed a programme so much for a long time. it went back through times so many of us gransnetters recall.

The Beeb at its very best. Great presenter, and when Prince William stood up...and the school children at the end, full of hope 🙂.
