Steve Irwin's Memorial Service to Air on Animal Planet

(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.
I say 6 years or less.

As Sure As 'Crikey!' Fills The Sky I Think We'll Miss Ya Steve...Goodbye
We should all be so blessed to live lives where our actions touch the souls of strangers.
I think that is secret of a worthy life. To live for others rather than ourselves.
Through those tears comes love and understanding, and a compassion that will carry us farther then we will ever know.
What you say is true, but for some reason, I am so sad about his death. I never really watched his show, but he was so honest and real, and just didn't hold anything back. :-(
Steve did good!

Thanks... I knew either you or Kstewskis would remember.
I think she will follow in his footsteps too. She's a chip off the old block.
thanks, mate.
I just read that his dog Sui died just over 2 years ago.
they're even putting up his surfboard!
I know. It's breaking my heart.
Crikey in flowers
that was amazing!
When does it replay for the west coast on animal planet?
It's almost 7 pacific, does it repeat at 9PM?
Anyone?
Ping - sniffle - ping ping - sniffle
How did you know we'd be watching? ;)
Here come the tears again (picture show), especially the ones with his family.
It's on right now - they'll re run it at midnight or so. (For west coast...I'll tell you in a second when I'm done watching)
Think how infinitely sadder it would have been had Steve never realized his potential, or died being unloved?
His family and he are blessed in many ways.
Have courage and take heart. Wrap these memories in your own heart. You will be richer because of them.
I lost family members when they were so young, and my family and I miss them so, but the richness amd faith they have added to our lives have be immeasurable.
You're in my prayers.
God Bless!
