Closing Prayer FINAL HYMN Immortal Invisible (God only wise)
Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes, Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might; Thy justice like mountains high soaring above Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
To all life thou givest to both great and small; In all life thou livest, the true life of all; We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, And wither and perish but nought changeth thee.
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight; All laud we would render: O help us to see 'Tis only the splendour of light hideth thee. Words based on 1 Timothy 1:17 W.Chalmers Smith (1824-1908) Music: Welsh hymn melody

Julian leads the BBC Natural History Unit (NHU), a production department renowned as much for excellence in wildlife film-making as it is for its specialist knowledge in cutting edge technology. His promise to the global audience is the extreme close- up; to immerse them in the natural worlds brilliance, its dramas and beauty and increasingly the challenges nature faces in a largely human world.
Julian leads the NHU to supply content across BBC channels, digital platforms and broadcasters across the world. His personal credits include landmarks Wild Africa and Battle of the Sexes; investigative journalism Ivory Wars; popular factual India: Natures Wonderland and Tigers About the House. Julian created numerous radio returning formats including Tweet of the Day, Natural Histories and Shared Planet. Under Julian’s leadership the Natural History Unit delivered Planet Earth II and Blue Planet II, two landmarks in successive years that were the most watched programmes on the BBC.
After graduating in Zoology he worked as a research biologist with the British Antarctic Survey studying albatrosses on South Georgia; work which generated many formative peer reviewed papers. He left academia after 10 years joining the BBC in 1993. Emily Hartley
