Im hoping he will appear on the pyramid as I have an idea .... with a full crowd how difficult would it be to clear that arena of litter if he was to ask us to pick some up ... 30 seconds of litter picking would  make that place immaculate and reinforce the message of people not dropping it for the rest of the festival and build a kind of ethos around it  

THIS!

Is he likely to lend support to a group who tend to go for such a hands on approach? Not so sure.

He definitely won't get a sacred space slot on a Thursday afternoon. Far too crowded. This'll just be similar to largest cnd symbol attempt of 2017, with a march...

He might if they don’t announce it. The Dalia Lama made an appearance there and the crowd was manageable because it wasn’t widely known. He did make a second Pyramid appearance, mind you. You’d think Attenborough would do the same.

I expect him on the Park Stage after today’s Worthy Warrior email. 

 

(Read as desperately hoping he’s the very special guest)

It wasn't a Thursday, and it was earlier in the day, 11am?  Trying to get everyone into a neat shape is never going to happen if there's an impromptu stage set up and everyone wants to be near the front. Not saying sacred space wouldn't work for David, just saying it's not going to be Thursday afternoon combined with this other thing (which he may or may not want to publicly condone).

She'd be great, is she happy clocking up the air miles?

always a boat I guess ... would be quite a coup for the festival if they had them both

Thanks Neil

A BBC panelist at the Speakers Forum on Thurs confirmed they couldn't get him to come ("he said he's too old"), FYI

That would indeed have been some sight, and quite a powerful statement on how we as a collective can change what needs changing in the world, on the environmental front. Alas, it shouldn't need David Attenborough's intervention in any case.

Indeed .. although my impression is the site seems cleaner ... let’s hope the litter pickers agree
