Sir David Attenborough - Honorary - University of Leicester

Sir David Attenborough gives a response after being made a Distinguished Honorary Fellow of the University of Leicester. This is the highest award the University presents. Recipients already have an Honorary Degree from the University of Leicester, but have continued to engage in distinguished service within the University. At any one time there are only 24 recipients of this award.

Sir David Attenborough's association with the University began when his father was the Principal of the University College from 1932-51. Their former home, College House, is in the heart of the campus.
