      My first exposure to his nature documentaries was on the big screen and the big amphitheater lecture Hall in the biology building in my first year university biology animal biology course. I was mesmerized literally transfixed watching those shows he with his fkoppt messy hair coming from all corners of the globe in the most remote and most beautiful places on earth. I could not believe the photography. I couldn't understand how they could possibly capture these shots of these different species. To this day they still resonate with me. He is truly brilliant and truly amazing and still go on strong at what 97 something like that. God bless him. He is an inspiration

      @@davidcobb464 What exactly is "a level of continuity which other countries lack" in a practical sense? What, practically, does it do? Because the only thing I can see is that it equips monarchists with something to say in defense of the monarchy which sounds vaguely profound but is actually meaningless.

    It's amazing to think that if it had been held on June 2nd, it would have been exactly 70 years since the previous Coronation.

    I noticed those who live life doing a variety of things tend to stay young and sharp mentally. Bless you, David Attenborough. William Shatner is the same. Both in their 90s
