Surfers honour Steve Irwin
It was reported by Australian media that a family service for Irwin, who was killed a week ago when a stingray barb pierced his chest as he filmed a TV show, was held on Saturday on his wildlife park.
But Irwin’s manager John Stainton said the reports were conjecture and the family would make a statement. Brisbane’s The Sunday Mail reported a private ceremony took place on Saturday; the Nine and Seven television networks showed footage of an empty marquee and chairs they reported were used in the ceremony.
