"...70 years ago I was a young..." If you can say these words, you're blessed indeed.

[Laura-bnmu]

The fact he met Charles as a child and lived long enough to see the same child be coronated as an old man at the age of 74 is mind blowing

[SpiceySpinster]

I just love this man. Devoted his whole life to this planet and the animals in it. You can't say a bad thing about him.

[kuhrapman]

Its absolutely incredible how active and well spoken he still is at his age!

[philbrodie-edpr]

I could listen to sir David talk about anything xx

[oneileo]

Sir David is a national treasure. Love his work, truly a remarkable man.❤💪🏼

[starman]

This man is a gem! His whole life spent spreading knowledge and trying to save our planet!

[serioussally]

Remarkable man for 98. People with a vital interest in life and people tend to go on for a long time. My own grandfather was the same. Always appeared younger than he was.

As an American teen in the 80's --- I would be quite lost in fascination watching Sir David's nature specials --- they were very well done!

[SoberOKMoments]

The King was indeed mocked for his environmental interests and concerns back in the 80s and 90s, but he made me a lifelong admirer for his courage in being willing to stand up for issues that are now realized as critically important to our very survival on this planet. God Save The King!

I will remember this nice voice. I remember Sir David Attenborough since 40 years when I have seen a lot of films about animals. Regards from Poland...

A voice you never forget, unique memorable voice

[getajob]

Sir David Attenborough’s voice is so calming and brings backs feeling of fascination and wonder when seeing for the first time those nature documentaries he would narrate. Love him so much!

[kaomicruce]

I just adore Sir David Attenborough. Every time he speaks he sounds like a narrator. Life is a documentary and he is guiding us all through it. Just makes my heart overflow..🥰🤗🫶🏻🙌🏻

[My_Legs_Hurt]

David talks very well for someone in his late 90s. Still sounds like he did when I watched his documentaries years back

[LittleMissPyeWacket]

We need wrap up Sir David Attenborough in bubble wrap and make sure he never comes to any harm. 🥰

Why aren’t people this interesting to listen to anymore? What a treasure this man is

[ThandieSibanda]

The Iconic voice and man that was large part of my childhood. He's hypnotic approach to wildlife will forever be unmatched - what a Legend!

[JamesvanDreller]

He is the most clear and alive 96 year old that I ever saw. I think it is the open-mind and the "can't stop working".

[josh]

A true gentleman. I could listen to his stories all day
