In pictures: Australia kids after Steve Irwin's memorial
Aidan, 8: "Steve Irwin was great. I've watched lots of his programmes, including one about spiders. I was able to work out the difference between harmful spiders and friendly ones."
Bradley, 8: "Steve Irwin was really funny. Nearly everyone in my whole school got to miss class so we could go to the school library to watch the memorial service."
Kiimberly, 10: "Me and my classmates got to watch his memorial service today on TV in school. It was really sad at times. I cried a bit at the end."
