Sir David Attenborough (OM CH CVO CBE FRS FLS FZS FSA FRSGS) turns 92 today. We have so much to thank Sir David for; with his tireless passion spanning over six decades, he has blessed the world with priceless documentaries that have educated the masses about nature, the environment and this place we call Earth.
