Heritage in both blood and building - we're lucky to have both

Sir David is and always will be my number two hero. My father is number one after all.

I just admire his way of speaking

Lovely video! I wonder why the music (Martin Luther's "Ein feste Burg" in German) was chosen?

What an astonishing privilege for Clare College, to have someone of such stature and public prominence as Sir David Attenborough, introduce the college through his own years as a graduate.
There are some quite beautiful moments in what is a fairly brief video, but it is full of the memories and history of Clare College - splendid :)

I can’t believe I didn’t know his brother was John Hammond from Jurassic park!

I thought you were going to talk about John Clare, the poet. Be more interesting to me. His themes of country life & wild things.
