RIP. Used to love watching his stuff. Proper environmentalist not like the modern dumb 'activists'.

How dare you the way you treated him

BBC, You swine cast this man into the wilderness and deprived him of an income, because he wouldn't sing the siren song of doom for the climate, Death by co2. God keep this man and give him rest.

BBC should be ashamed to what they did to him

A great TV educator I grew up with his voice in my ears rip and thank you

Top guy on the tv,loved and appreciated around the globe RIP.

You black balled him, yet you allowed Saville to continue, FO.

Just a lovely guy that I had the privilege of meeting at Aspal Close, Suffolk. R.I.P David Thank you for all your brilliant environmental work.

Didn't the BBC blacklist him for not following the climate change agenda you want to push? You remember nothing. Your licence will be gone, very soon.

In all the years since David Bellamy was sacked by the BBC for being a climate sceptic I never once heard him say that he made a mistake. The despicable lowlife BBC are now reporting that he said he may have got it wrong about climate change.

Remembering my mind being blown when the folks pointed out his house one day. Only lived down the road from us. Celebs don't live around here. He did!

No that sucks, very sad

Good Guy. Who encouraged so many to care. BBC however treated him like dirt. Two faces BBC. Shame on BBC for what they did to him

RIP DavidBellamy Cast aside by the BBC for having an opinion on climatechange. The man was an inspiration to more viewers than most of the so-called 'celebs' they pay millions to. Imagine working for an institution that'd sack you for having an opinion? Frightening!

suchan104 Nice to see the BBC give David Bellamy air time... Shameful on them he had to die for them to do so... Just because he didn't follow the 'Group Think' mentality. R.I.P. David, one of my childhood heroes.

David's enthusiasm for nature was irresistible - and he was a champion of wetlands especially. His interventions helped us save the Great Raft Spider and the fens in Suffolk. A great man!

What a shame! He said a few yrs ago in an interview that global warming was ‘poppycock’ and he wanted to put the other side of the argument his tv work stopped after that, would of been interesting to hear from him instead of the hysteria we get at the mo. RIP u were great 2watch

BBC hypocrisy. Remember what you did to this great man because he refused to go along with your promotion of the Global Warming (Man-made Climate Change) scam. Shame on you.

Sad day rip

The BBC should be ashamed of itself because of what they did to DavidBellamy. To big-him-up after his passing is disingenuous at least and downright disgusting at worse. Unlike yourself I’m sure David died with a clear conscience. bbcbreakfast gmb R.I.P. David Bellamy

Frozen out by the BBC for criticising the BBC’s irrational championing of global warming apocalypse theory. You did this great and wonderful man a disservice and should be ashamed of yourselves

krissakabusi What an amazing man Gave me the idea I could help wildlife and eventually I became a veterinary nurse Thank you David Hope you have more adventures in the after life

If you were brought up with David Bellamy, you could not forget him, one of those that stood out from the crowd

night He was frozen out of the BBC for two unacceptable crimes: 1. He did not believe climate change was man made 2. He was a white old male scientist

An amazing presenter, sadly he wouldn't go along with the Climate Change lies so the BBC got rid of him. Global warming is an elite money making hoax

I would have thought LennyHenry would have gave his condolences, Considering he made a career out of impersonating David.

night I liked him as a child. Thoughts are with his family 🙏

Me and my dad met him on the train once when I was a lad.. . Very friendly down to earth guy who really cared about the environment. We talked about deforestation causing flooding in Bangladesh where my family originate. Condolences to his family he will be missed 😪💔🌿

Well Gwapple me gwape nuts... Loved this man when I was growing up. RIP thoughts to family and friends.🙌

Very sad, he was a very wise man

Great loss, he was on tv during of my growing up. Rest in peace

A wise man...

You mean that David Bellamy you unceremoniously kicked out for not toeing the line?

PhilDurling100 One of the most famous Old Suttonians RIP

HowDareYou ! JamesDelingpole clim8resistance

This is pure hypocrisy and cant. He was unceremoniously dropped by the BBC because he spoke views that were unacceptable not just on climate change but also because no fan of shooting or hunting he honestly recognised the invaluable contribution they make to Conservation

Oh blimey. He was at Belle Vue zoo when I went as a child. I think he may well have been the first celebrity I spotted (and recognised). Amazing person.

GretaThunberg fyi

That’s a shame. A great environmentalists. Rip DavidBellamy

RIP David, a pioneer and a gent, years ahead of his time.

RIP david b...was always glued to my tv as a kid watching david and sir david....thank you for the opening my mind to the nature 🌱🌲🌻🍁🕷🐙🦋

thom_ohz Tim_Media Rest all struggled up, king.

He used to shop in a Ryman’s I worked at near Selfridges in London. He was such a lovely fella, always friendly to the staff.

He spoke too much truth for the BBC........

The cast him aside because he did not buy into your climate hysteria agenda. Yes BBC, we shall remember.

What a character RIPDavidBellamy

So ahead of his time

R.I.P. David so much enthusiasm it was infectious thanks brother.

You took him off Telly for talking about climate change. GretaThunberg CarolineLucas GreenRupertRead
