Dame Judi Dench was visibly emotional as she was assisted by Strictly winner and Countryfile wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin - achieving something she never thought would happen
The legendary Dame Judi Dench realised her dream of observing a golden eagle in its natural habitat, despite her battle with a degenerative eye condition that is affecting her sight.
The beloved Philomena actress and the cameraman set out in a vehicle to what was described as a "secret location" in hopes of catching a glimpse of the elusive birds. It was a successful venture, with Dame Judi managing to view two golden eagles in flight, interacting with a kestrel, through a special monitor.
Hamza replied: "There's few people in the UK that can say they've seen a golden eagle in the wild... and doing some pretty impressive behaviour." After opening up to OK! about her determination to keep working "as much as I can" despite the challenges posed by her eyesight, Dame Judi also shared her struggle on film sets. "I mean I can't see on a film set anymore," she confessed.
