Watch Steve Irwin’s memorial service LIVE

by Wendy on September 19th, 2006

Animal Planet has done some great tribute videos to Steve Irwin, and you can watch the memorial service live; here’s more info:

Animal Planet is airing Steve Irwin’s memorial service exclusively in the U.S. commercial free on Tuesday, September 19th from 9-10 PM ET/PT, with an encore broadcast airing 12-1 AM ET/PT. The memorial service, entitled STEVE IRWIN: HE CHANGED OUR WORLD, will be a same-day broadcast (with a two-hour delay) of the event Wednesday morning in Australia. In addition, Animal Planet is carrying the memorial service in most of its regions worldwide.

The public memorial service for the beloved animal conservationist and television personality is being held in the "Crocoseum," a 5,500-seat stadium at Irwin’s Australia Zoo in Beerwah, Australia. Members of the Irwin Family, as well as Irwin’s long-time friend and producer, John Stainton, are expected to speak. Celebrities and dignitaries worldwide are expected to attend.

And more details about the memorial service itself:

A SINGLE seat will be kept empty next to Terri Irwin at today’s memorial service for her husband Steve — a space for the Crocodile Hunter himself.

    Hello. My husband and I watched the memorial service, and cried. We are all so sorry to have lost such a wonderful human.
    I would like to know what the name of the song was that everyone was singing at the end of the memorial. It was so facinating.

    Hi,I am a Bagpiper from the Netherlands, and when I heard that news I was really shocked! because I always look at his wonderful programs on t.v.
    Last week I had an idea: In memory of the Crocodile Hunter I will write a Scottish Lament for the Bagpipe.
