Incredible Sir David Attenborough sand sculpture

Sir David, one of Britain’s most inspiring broadcasters with an astonishing career spanning 70 years, celebrated his 100th birthday on Friday.

Events in honour of the beloved presenter were held across the country, and a star-studded concert took place at the Royal Albert Hall.

A giant sand portrait appeared on Morecambe beach to celebrate the 100th birthday.

The incredible 80m artwork, made by raking the sand, was created by Sand In Your Eye.

And SandWorld, Weymouth, has also reflected on the incredible sand sculpture it created to ‘celebrate a man whose passion for the natural world has inspired generations across the globe’ on his 100th birthday.

David Hicks and Mark Anderson, co-founders of SandWorld. said: “As co-founders of SandWorld, we were proud to create our tribute sculpture to Sir David Attenborough several years ago, celebrating a man whose passion for the natural world has inspired generations across the globe.

“Reaching 100 years old is an extraordinary milestone, and we hope the sculpture continues to remind visitors of the importance of protecting our planet, its wildlife and oceans – a message Sir David has dedicated his life to sharing.”
