David Attenborough hailed ‘hero of Glastonbury’

The naturalist delivered a powerful speech about the environment, more specifically the ocean, and appeared taken aback by the warm reception he received.

David Attenborough has been hailed the ‘hero of Glastonbury’ after an unscheduled appearance at the festival.

The 93-year-old threaded the boards of the Pyramid stage shortly before Kylie Minogue's set - the stage which hosted acts such as The Killers, Liam Gallagher, Hozier and Stromzy mere hours before.
