The acclaimed wildlife cameraman and photographer Doug Allan has died while trekking in Nepal.

Allan, 74, was principal cameraman on a number of BBC programmes including The Blue Planet, Blue Planet II, Planet Earth and Frozen Planet, and spent much of his career working alongside Sir David Attenborough.

He won eight Emmy Awards for his work and was made an OBE for services to broadcast media and environmental awareness in 2024.

Allan's management company said he had died "immersed in nature and surrounded by friends".

In a statement, Jo Sarsby Management described him as a "true pioneer of wildlife filmmaking" who had captured "some of the most breathtaking and intimate images" of the natural world.
