In April, national treasure David Attenborough comes to the big screen in David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet. The unique feature documentary is a powerful first-hand account of humanity’s impact on nature and a message of hope for future generations.

The film will be followed by a Q&A with Attenborough, live from the World Premiere at the Royal Albert Hall. David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet is out 16th April.
In May, exactly 75 years since Winston Churchill’s announcement of the end of the Second World War, the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra plus special guests will unite the nation for an inspiring and patriotic evening.
