When I was a student at Leicester Uni, my departments were all housed in the Attenborough Tower. It was named after Richard, David, and John's father, Frederick, who was Principal of the University College of Leicester from 1932 to 1951. The family used to live in the house that stands adjacent to it.
A friend of mine went to the Uni as a mature student about ten years ago. On her first day, a second year student showing them around campus said "This is called the Attenborough Tower, though nobody knows why."Comment

Of course, he was famous for acting other things too. But to a certain generation that grew up watching black-and-white war films on 405-line VHF tellies of a Sunday afternoon, being cowardly in a submarine will always be his crowning achievement. Even though he only did it in Morning DepartureComment
