Sir David Attenborough is a legend, Terri Irwin is a legend and so is her late husband Steve Irwin. Sad to think though that it has been nearly 10 years since Steve's passing. RIP Steve, you were my childhood hero!

Sir David deserved that award, and Terri deserved that standing ovation, Both David and Steve are true legends!

When this man passes over it will be one of the saddest days of mankind. He (to me) is the Charles Darwin of the Modern Day. Long Live Sir David.

I love David Attenborough he is a legend I love his voice and all his documentaries love from Pakistan

Without question THE PERSON I would most love to meet and spend time getting to know. He is an international treasure, loved and respected throughout the world. Love you Sir David!!!

If anyone deserves to live forever it's Sir David Attenborough! A remarkable man who has done more for natural conservation than anyone else!

Makes me cry every time.

I miss Steve soo much:( i wish for Terri to film a documentry with David! that would be AWESOME!!

words will never express my complete admiration and respect for such a brilliant,well spoken easy to listen to president of compassion and may his lifelong dedication to promoting awareness of OUR planet...thank you david and may we all follow in his footsteps as much as possible....OUR PLANET needs us to be aware and positively active

this man's work in preservation and education has given voice to those without, he is nature's voice. The things I have learned from him, the creatures he has seen and shared with us has changed my world and has led me into whale conservation, his passion has given me my passion and I thank him for it. What he does will help change and save the world, self righteous zealots will not.

It is so great to see some get made among their peers for once instead of torn assunder like so many lives on this planet so often are... Good on ya David Attenborough and Steave Irwin! God Bless you both!

I have all the series of episodes on DVD from Sir David Attenborough. His dedication towards both Mother Earth and the BBC are remarkable. The DVD episodes are absolutely beautiful and informative for not just children and animal lovers, but for all!

David walking towards tribesmen saying "good afternoon" must be as good a definition of an english gentleman as you will find!

David Attenborough = Legend. I could watch any programme he made all day long.

i have watched wildlife tv with this guy my hole life and it is amazing he got me glued to the tv and allways excited just by the way he talked and acted and if i saw other wildlife shows with other people it was boring it didnt have his spirit and excitment he is the greatest wildlife man in the world and all time past and future

david deserved this award ALOT! R.I.P. steve urwin.

Watched this guy when i was a young lad and still captivated with what he brings onto our tv screens he's a legend the world ova!!shows not jst the wild and beautiful but the serious side to animal extinction and destruction of our lands, when this man talks the powerful listen and so they should.

I admire the great Sir David Attenborough. He is such a great inspiration. Thank you ssoo much for posting this.

Three heros on that stage - Trevor McDonald, Terri Irwin and Carl Kennedy

David Attenborough is the bomb!! I am American and know his voice immediately!

Dear Mr. Sir David Attenborough: I just like to express my heartfelt admiration and gratitude to you. I have been eagerly watching and enjoying your documentary videos since I was 10 years old. Your god’s giving unique style, body language and knowledge to showcasing various characteristics of animals, species and their roles in the mutual interconnection system is really remarkable. I believe you are one of those chosen to do so. As a Muslim, I strongly believe that ALLAH Almighty is the creator, the keeper of the whole universe and everything else it it. No other associates nor partners with him. Consequently, must be solely worshipped, feared and given all credit ,acknowledgment and gratitude. I know that you aren’t a religious man as you stated in one of your TV interviews, but in my opinion you don’t have to be a religious to give credit to God. Just let nature’s instincts kick. We all going to die sooner or later. As a Muslim, I believe in judgement day as well as the eternal life after death. (Another life). I also believe that we all going to meet God almighty individually and therefore we will be held accountable for our actions. And everyone will get a fair return for good or bad behaviors. In conclusion, I would like you put all our religion and cultural differences aside and think this matter over. What if I was telling you was true? And that you were convinced and embraced Islam, therefor you will be one those lucky survivors in the other eternal life. Now It’s up to you sir. Because I like you very much, I strongly feel obligated to inform you that. I wish you all the best. I will keep watching, enjoying your documentary videos no matter what your response is. Best regards. Youssif Jassim Saudi Arabia

Sir David Attenborough, King of the Wild!

wow, what a find.. 2006, missed this one. I've watched so many videos since then. It's kind of troubling what to make of it, but they are essentially gone now. So much drowned out or inundated by mass appeal.

like another father to me. ...and Sigur Ros' music, what an honor to soundtrack this!

remember watching this. cried like fuck when terri walked out.

One of the greatest man on Earth.

'Says he's retiring'.......12 years later and he's still killing it

I don't know if David Attenborough met Steve Irwin but I think if they had they probably would have become very good friends.

David Attenborough es un ídolo!! Una persona especial. Es emocionante ver como lo homenajean en vida. Recomiendo vean los videos q hizo de "la vida privada de las plantas", son 7 u 8 capítulos.

Yep, he was knighted a while back. Sir David Attenborough! Pity they can'd find a higher award than that.

big uppppppppppppppppppp for David Attenborough .. i love him

Truly an Inspiration!!

A truely great man, I think people need to show him some respect by not bickering.

He is the best man evolution has ever made.

Wow

Am I the only one who recognised the score from "Planet Earth" at 1:00?

Attenborough rules!!!!!!!

They both are - Sir David and Sir Richard.

That man is a fucking legend! May Allah bless David Attenborough

For a moment, I thought you were being serious. But, if you were, you clearly haven't seen Sir David's body of work. I loved Steve - his death was tragic - but he had another 4 decades of pioneering the recording of wildlife before he could match Attenborough.

is his name not sir david by now? i hope it is..

damn right

@TheIRiShCaSaNoVa It is.

Lol. when she stops at 1.03 i thought the microphone was that tall. btw, I

From 6:50 to the end... Listen to him. That's what it OUGHT to mean to be an Englishman.

Wow! Let it go. Yes it was 5 years ago and I was 14. Why does it matter what my opinion was back then?

what is the song called? do you know?

how comes the man not a sir yet but his bro is. or is he

wow fighting off a bull elephant seal with a stick. he's awsome!!

Lol! Irwin being compared to Attenborough!?! Steve was great but he wasn't even in the same league as Attenborough. As 'meanvince' said maybe in a few decades he might have been comparable but he was nowhere near.
