News India Live, Digital Desk: When we think of 99 years of age, the picture that comes to our mind is of a person sitting comfortably at home, perhaps reading something or spending time with his family. But for Sir David Attenborough, age is just a number. At the age of 99, he has done what no one has been able to do till date.

Famous naturalist and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough has created history by winning the Daytime Emmy Award. He has become the oldest person ever to receive this prestigious honour.

98 year old Dick Van Dyke’s record broken

Earlier this record was in the name of veteran Hollywood actor Dick Van Dyke. Last year, at the age of 98, Dick Van Dyke won a Daytime Emmy Award for a guest role in his TV series ‘Days of Our Lives’. At that time it seemed that hardly anyone would be able to break this record, but Sir David Attenborough made this record in his name after just one year.

For what work did you receive this honour?

Sir David Attenborough received this award for his brilliant show “The Secret Life Of Pandas” For “Outstanding Travel, Adventure and Nature Program” Found in category. As the name suggests, the show shows unseen aspects of the lives of pandas living in panda conservation centers in China.

Sir David narrates the show in his famous and heart-touching voice. There is magic in his voice which takes the audience straight into the lap of nature. This is the reason why even at the age of 99, his work is being appreciated all over the world.
