I thought I would share with you all one of the best evenings I have had in a long time, with a silver haired man & a voice that is known all over the world on Television.
It was of course a night at The Brighton Dome with Sir David Attenborough.
Melvin Bragg presented & asked Sir David questions through his life and experiences, with photos & videos for over 2 hours, with questions from the audience at the end.
Sir David went from his early days as a child with his Brother Richard, through to how he got in to TV & the making of so many great shows Beginning with "Life On Earth (1979). The Living Planet (1984). The Trials Of Life (1990). The Life Of Mammals (2002). Life In The Undergrowth (2005) and Life In Cold Blood (2008). All these are available in Books to accompany the series.
This was a tribute paid to Sir David by BAFTA, and it is also his autobiography which is in print called " David Attenborough: A Life on Air (2002).
Sir David's work has been highly rewarded over the years, perhaps his most prestigious achievements being his Knighthood (1985) and being made Fellow of the Royal Society (1983).
Sir David has been voted Britain's Greatest Living icon by BBC viewers (2006).
This was a fantastic night, a real insight into Sir David & his growing up, what lead him on his path to being the best Naturalist of our time.
He also talked about Cousteau and Darwin as well.
Managed to get a few pictures and his autograph while he was book signing, so very happy..Have to go now as I need to start reading his book....
