Steve Irwin's Memorial Service to Air on Animal Planet
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, FROM 9-10 P.M. ET/PT. Get a reminder!
(Silver Spring , MD) — Animal Planet is airing Steve Irwin's memorial service exclusively in the U.S., commercial-free, on Tuesday, September 19, from 9-10 p.m. ET/PT, with an encore broadcast airing 12-1 a.m. 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.
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.
"Steve's daughter Bindi will have her own show in 20 years."
I believe a show featuring Bindi is currently in production. It may be that the segment they were taping when Steve died was for her show. Perhaps not, but I know that was reported early on.
Just got here and will BBL, after I read the thread. Good on ya, Steve!
Yeah, she has one now and will be swimming with sting rays, she *says,* soon in Jungle Girl. Don't know if that's the name of her show or a new one. Sorry, gotta go back and read. I don't have cable.
That is beautiful
I had been trying to find a way to articulate this--thank you.
Agreed. God is Love and Stevo oozed it out of every pore.
Oh, bless his heart. Tell him Stevo Lives!
*sobbing now* *again*
Oh, Baba Wawa's interview won't be on The View, as posted further up - it's a one-hour special on ABC a week from tomorrow. Most likely in PrimeTime. Surely, it is.
I should be thanking you. Your contribution on this and other threads here on FR are a great tribute to the life and memory of Steve Irwin. Thanks for the thread and thanks for including me on the ping list.
I know you weren't able to watch, but there is some video here:

It may be the whole service
whoops meant to post that to Rte66 for not being able to watch.
I just knew there were people that are worried about Steve's spiritual health and relationship with God. I think we have nothing to worry about. He lived the life God meant him to and was grateful for that.
Nice khaki!
* ... under the shade of a coolibah tree ... and he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled .. you'll come a-waltzing, Mathilda, with me ...*
Thanks for a memory tune-jog!
Is this what you meant?

May he rest in peace. And may God watch over his children and wife.
That's it--I was hoping to find an mp3--very cute song. It is obviously a well known Aussie song. Everybody was singing it.
You'll see, I posted a link where you can see the entire service. I'm so glad you will be able to see it.
