Youngsters at a Blackpool nursery have been doing their but to ensure legendary broadcaster Sir David Attenborough has the happiest of 100th birthdays on Friday (May 8).
The children at Lilliput Kiddie Care in Boscombe Road, South Shore have been celebrating the landmark date with lots of exciting and meaningful activities.
They dressed up as their favourite animals and created special birthday cards to show their appreciation for all the incredible work Sir David has done.
They have spent time learning about the planet and how we can all care for it, as well as enjoying trips to the Solaris Centre to explore and learn more about the environment.
The youngsters have also observed the life cycle of caterpillars turning into butterflies as well as focusing on how to protect our oceans.
A visit from the lifeboat crew has been arranged and Lilliput has been working closely with Blackpool Zoo on a project exploring giraffes and gorillas.
