So how has the news of Steve Irwin affected you? Young or old alike loved his animal antics and will be missed. In her first announcement since his death, Terri announced earlier in the week the memorial service would take place at ‘Crocoseum’ at Queensland’s Australia zoo.

So how has the news affected others? Prime Minister John Howard offered a state funeral and Russell Crowe flew back to Australia to pay tribute to Steve Irwin. Russell was even given a special three day leave from the set of his recent film, now in production.

Media is being restricted, according to manager John Stainton. They will allow one radio, one television and one press crew into the memorial. The hopes are to protect Steve’s wife Terri. A limited amount of ‘tickets’ will be available to the general public and many in Australia have camped overnight in hopes of acquiring said tickets; of which only three thousand tickets will be available.

Before the night was through however, at least one man was arrested for disorderly conduct, including taking a swing at the officer. To darken the mood even more, 10 stingrays have been found mutilated on Queensland beaches since Steve’s death. Surely, this is not what Steve would have wanted.
