A new portrait of Sir David Attenborough has been unveiled, marking the veteran natural history broadcaster's 40 years of fellowship of the Royal Society.

The oil painting is by Jonathan Yeo, who recently created the first official painted portrait of King Charles III since his coronation.

It shows Sir David seated against a green background, looking directly at the viewer with his hands clasped around his knee.

Sir David, who described Yeo as a "master", said it was "extraordinary" to have his portrait included in the Royal Society's collection.

Listen to Sir David's reaction to the unveiling, and artist Jonathan Yeo describing what he wanted to convey in the portrait.
