Plans for night of music to celebrate David Attenborough's 100th birthday

Could this be the biggest birthday party ever?

To celebrate wildlife legend David Attenborough's 100th birthday, a special live event will be broadcast from the Royal Albert Hall in London.

There will be music performances of tracks that appear in Attenborough's documentaries, as well as famous faces like Deadly 60's Steve Backshall and wildlife presenter Chris Packham reflecting on David Attenborough's impact on the world.

The concert will be aired on his birthday, which is on 8 May.

There will be some big names performing on the night.

The lead singer from Bastille - Dan Smith - will join the BBC Concert Orchestra to perform Pompeii, which was featured in Planet Earth III.

The audience will also get to hear Hoppipolla - by the Icelandic band Sigur Ros - which was used in the promotion of Planet Earth and Planet Earth II.

To add to the festivities, the BBC Concert Orchestra will also perform the music of the most famous Attenborough moments, like the snakes and iguanas chase from Planet Earth II.

The host of the event - Kirsty Young - says it's the "the very least he deserves".

"Sir David's gift to the world has been a life spent exquisitely revealing Earth's wonders to us all," she added.
