Here's a link to see the service, if anyone had missed it. I cried, laughed, cried, and laughed some more, then cried!! What an unbelieveably moving tribute to a unbelievable warm, loving soul!!! He will be so sorely missed. It broke my heart to see Terri in such pain.

lisa I did the same thing watching it last night. I this was the first time I had seen Terri since he passed away. She was so pityful. My heart just breaks for her and the kids. His dad too is so sad. When Wes started crying it tore me up! it was truely a wonderful tribute to him though.

Bee, that was Terri and the children's first public appearance since his death. Yeah, it broke me up when Wes started crying...just so hard. When his dad spoke, I started to fall apart...then Bindi, oh my goodness!!! But it was so refreshing to hear her.

Terri and Bindi will be in an interview with Barbara Walters next week some time. I forget exactly when, Barabara announced it yesterday on the View. This will be her first interview. Many of the questions like where was she when she heard, etc.. will be asked.

The truck being driven out.........omg, I felt so choked up, like I couldn't breath...all I could think, how hard this must be on Terri...oi!

lisa when they drove that truck out I lost it totally! I cried so hard! I hope I can remember to watch the interview! I was surprised she didn't speak last night but I do understand why she didn't. I almost feel like a family member passed. my hubby and I watched the show every night while we ate dinner. he died doing what he loved though and I am not so sure any of us really get to go doing what we love!

Memorial to Steve Irwin

Steve Irwin's widow Terri sits with daughter Bindi, and son Bob,
at the memorial service for her husband at Australia Zoo in Beerwah, Australia.

The family, along with best mate Wes Mannion, right, were dressed in Irwin's favored khaki
outfit. It was the family's first public appearance since Steve Irwin died

The outpouring of grief over Steve Irwin's death has been most felt outside his
Australia Zoo, where the public memorial service took place.

Visitors to Australia Zoo at Beerwah laid flowers in tribute to Irwin,

I missed the service as it was aired live, which just happened to be at about 2 in the morning.

Thanks for the pics!

Oh yes Bee, that was just almost way too much to bare. I just had such a hard time with the driving off of his truck, it brings tears to my eyes as well right now.

I'm not sure how much truth there is to this, but I was of the understanding that her interview with BW will be the only one (I might be wrong with that). That maybe one of the reasons she didn't speak last night. And of course the obvious, it was just an overwhelming time...it's so sad to see her like that. She looks made up. Not the Terri we are so accustomed to seeing, so full of life, with a full grin and bounce in her step. I think that was so hard, to just feel her loss for her...I hope his mission will continue on with as much enthusiasm. He really was far too young.

Thanks for the photos rhaps.

Everytime I turn on Animal Planet there is a show of him... imagine how bad it must be for his family to watch him on TV!

I'll check next time and let you know. Also they had a special about him on carte blanch on sunday and during the week.

Why dio so many people miss him, and why does his death affect me and so many people the way it does?.....I personally think it was that looney and unique personality of his, and his passion for animals.
