Good evening. tonight on BBC1 at 10.30. | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
As international tributes h`ve flooded in to mark the death of Lord | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Attenborough, the people of his home city of Leicester have also been | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
He is irreplaceable, and th`t loss will be something that will | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
He may be gone, but within the city he calldd home, | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
It is nice to see people do remember him, and the fact he did a lot | :00:38. | :00:46. | |
Over the years, he has done so much, and I think they're fond melories. | :00:47. | :01:01. | |
He always talked about coming to Leicester as | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
"coming home", and certainlx he was very generous to the city. | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
His contribution to the arts in Leicester, starting | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
at the Little Theatre but l`ter in life, the Richard Attenborough | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
Richard, for all of his soft exterior, | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
He could be very angry if we didn't get it right. | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
But for all that, he supported, he was committed. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
For months, Leicester has bden preoccupied with another Richard, | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
But today, the city is mourning the loss of a Lord, but who wanted | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
Richard Attenborough's caredr in film stretched back to the 0940s, | :01:48. | :02:00. | |
From the 1960s, he achieved critical and colmercial | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
Quentin Rayner has been looking back on his life. | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
Born on 29 August 1923, Richard was one of three brothers | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
His father was principal of the University of Leicester, and Richard | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
We went camping, we went to discover new areas around the county and | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
My first girlfriend, I caught in Victoria Park. | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
Young Richard spent much of the childhood down at thd | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
Little Theatre in Leicester, and in 1942, his love of theatre eventually | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
took away from home and to RADA where his career soon took off. | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
Lord Attenborough even used money from one of | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
his feature films to help rdnovate a rundown centre for disabled people | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
at the University of Leicester after a conversation with its founder | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
So I said, "Yes of course I will" ` with my love for Leicester | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
and the University in particular and my family connections and so on | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
And so we decided to try to design and create | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
a centre where people with dvery kind of disability and infirmity | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
And after the tragic death of his daughter and granddatghter | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
in the Boxing Day tsunami, Richard decided to donate | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
his entire Picasso collection to the museum in Leicester. | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
Jane, the daughter, met Picasso and she loved them. | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
So the joy that they had and the joy that they gave ts can be | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
transferred through Jane and Lucy to other people. | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
My life has been blessed, and my life has been phenomdnal and | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
I think I would like those who knew who I was, to say, "Well, I'm glad I | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
met Dick because he was fun and he was kind, and he was caring for | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
other people and he shared his good forttne by | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
