Wildlife icon Sir David Attenborough has celebrated the premiere of his latest documentary film in London alongside a high profile guest list that included royals, politicians and entertainment stars. The debut of his feature-length release — titled Ocean with David Attenborough — took place just two days before the renowned conservationist's 99th birthday in a sign the personality's fight for a healthy and harmonious planet is far from over. Supporting the nonagenarian at the premiere was King Charles III, who himself was backed by Attenborough in 1985 when launching the British Wildlife Appeal at the Natural History Museum which raised more than £16 million ($33 million). Of the visiting guests, American politician John Carey was seen walking the The Royal Festival Hall's blue carpet, alongside WA mining giant and philanthropist Andrew Forrest. British celebrities in attendance included Spice Girl Geri Horner, model Cara Delevigne, actor Theo James, and singer James Blunt. Attenborough's film aims to shine a spotlight on the devastating fishing practices damaging sea beds, the effects of climate change on coral reefs, along with the human and animal communities under threat from industrial trawlers. 'The ocean can recover faster than we thought possible,' the naturist says in the film. 'If we just let nature take its course, the sea will save itself.'
