Watching David Attenborough on our TV screens has inspired many to love marine life. He has brought the underwater world into the living rooms of millions of people that have not had the chance to see it for themselves. He has also been the reason many have learned to dive.
Sir David has been the face and voice of the best of our natural history programmes, including Life in the Freezer, Blue Planet & The Trials of Life. He has worked with some of the very best underwater cameramen on Earth to get amazing underwater wildlife footage from around the world.
As he turned 90 yesterday, let’s look back at some of the best marine clips from his amazing career…
