In Memorium...

Thousands attend Irwin memorial BBC News

Wow. This is just too fitting. He's entertaining people even right after his death, indirectly and through the hearts and actions of his fans, family and country.

Footage was shown of the television presenter falling out of boats, being lunged at by crocodiles and lizards and forgetting his lines.

Employees of Mr Irwin's zoo staged a guard of honour as his pick-up truck drove past, bearing the late naturalist's camping gear and favourite surfboard.

The employees then laid yellow flowers on the ground of the stadium, spelling out Irwin's catchphrase, "Crikey".

Memorial services don't have to be sad and depressing. A "memorial" is a way for people to be remembered in their passing. It's one thing to reminisce, it's another thing altogether to celebrate those memories in a way befitting the one who's died.

When I die, I want my funeral to be a party.
