		I am delighted to introduce our Richard Attenborough gallery, not least because it gives me the opportunity to celebrate the life and work of one of Britain's genuine film legends, whose contribution to cinema stretches far beyond his distinguished work as director, producer and actor and penetrates the core of the country's cultural life.
		Lord Attenborough is a great man, somebody who has worked tirelessly on film sets for more than half a century, but also, with equal passion away from the camera to champion cinema, to quietly support institutions and individuals who have enjoyed less success, who command less influence.
		Richard Attenborough makes films for people and not for critics, and people have loved his films - from Gandhi to Cry Freedom, from Chaplin to Shadowlands.

		Richard Attenborough, Dickie to most, Lord A to some, turns 80 at the end of the month, a fact which he finds surprising - "I'm almost surprised I'm 80!" The National Film Theatre have organised a season of screenings in his honour and the BBC have made a two-part documentary.
		It's also easy to forget how good he was in them; the twinkle factor has rather taken over, and Attenborough, through what is snidely referred to as his "tireless commitment to charity" (he is on the committee of at least 10 worthy organisations), has come to represent the glib and effusive world of the actor.
		Attenborough's assistants (he has four, "like family", who've been with him for 30-plus years) scramble to pack his cases and wonder aloud whether, since the airline knows he's on the passenger list, they might hold the plane for him.
