Melksham will celebrate Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday with a special tribute in the Market Place.
Two banners made by Melksham Flag Group, displaying an image of David Attenborough, have been draped from the town hall. Butterflies will also be projected onto the facade of the building to celebrate his birthday on 8th May.
The recently installed tree planters in the Market Place will be decorated with bunting made by local children at a recent bunting-making event. Each flag has also been signed by the children who made them.
Terri Welch from Melksham’s Flag Group said, “The Flag Team and the Town Council have worked on a special tribute to this most loved presenter, to mark this milestone and to remind people of his love of nature and as a tribute to the wonderful films that have been made.”
