NEW DELHI: Animal conservationist Steve Irwin's memorial service will be aired

on Animal Planet tonight (Wednesday) at 9 p.m.

"Steve Irwin: He Changed Our World" will feature a public memorial service for the beloved animal conservationist-cum-television personality at "Crocoseum", a 5,500-seat stadium at Irwin's Australia Zoo in Beerwah. While Steve's family members as well as his long-time friend and producer John Stainton are expected to speak, celebrities and dignitaries worldwide will attend the memorial service.

From his early days at Australia Zoo to attaining worldwide fame as the "Crocodile Hunter", Steve had a boundless passion for wildlife.
