    He is a legend. I love his programmes.

    I am enjoying his latest Secret Gardens.

    He's looking well for his age.

    Will he get a letter from the King?

    I watched last night about the making of 'Life On Earth' in the 1970s. He is a great favourite of mine.

    Tomorrow is the big birthday! I'm wondering what it is that people here like about David Attenborough?

    My favourite thing about him is that he embodies my favourite approach to life, as said by Albert Einstein:

    There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

    I knew he was getting on a bit, but I didn't realise he was turning 100! What a brilliant man. He's been such an advocate for nature all through his life and must have inspired countless others. I love how peaceful he always seems too. Even when he's delivering difficult information, he's so sincere and passionate that you can't help but listen to what he has to say.

    That's a lovely quote @StarryEyed, I feel like it really sums him up!
