The one and only Steve Irwin was posthumously honoured yesterday with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

His wife Terri, 19-year-old daughter Bindi, and 14-year-old son Robert were all there to honour the legendary 'Crocodile Hunter'.

Steve died nearly 12 years ago, in September 2006, when a stingray barb pierced his heart. He is still beloved by many for the wild enthusiasm and love of animals he brought to TV screens everywhere.

This latest celebration of Steve's career means so much to his family, who have since carried on his conservation work.

"A moment in time I’ll always remember," Terri reflected on Twitter, "Steve received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Couldn’t be more proud." 

The Irwins invited those attending the ceremony to wear their 'best khaki' in honour of the man who rocked the beige on most of his TV programmes.

We love the pictures the family shared from yesterday, and they certainly are pulling off that khaki! It must run in the family.

Steve's kids were touched by the tribute to their father's life.

Bindi wrote on social media, "I’ll remember today forever. Such an emotional moment and beautiful chapter in our lives."

Robert expressed his own feelings on the day, saying:

"What an incredible day! A huge honour to unveil Dad’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and also to celebrate with a gorgeous green anaconda. So very proud of my dad today."

We are delighted that his legacy was celebrated in such a special way.

Steve Irwin, the late beloved Crocodile Hunter, is set to receive a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, and we could not be happier. 

The Walk of Fame Committee announced the decision over the weekend, honouring the amazing nature expert for his "outstanding contribution to the entertainment industry through his wildlife documentaries".  

"Steve has always said that he didn't care if anyone remembered him, as long as they remembered his message," Terri Irwin, Steve's lovely wife, said in a statement from the family's Zoo conservation site in Western Queensland.

"I truly believe that this recognition for Steve's achievements will ensure that his message of wildlife conservation is remembered."

Steve Irwin was a popular fixture on all of our televisions, thanks to his brilliant show The Crocodile Hunter, and energetic appearances on late night talk shows, including The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.

The father-of-two died suddenly from a stingray attack in September 2006, while filming an underwater documentary in Queensland's Batt Reef.

"This is the most extraordinary moment, honouring Dad's legacy and all that he achieved for global conservation," said his lovely daughter, Bindi.

"Dad changed the world by reaching out to people through their television screens to bring them on the adventure of a lifetime. To have his name on a Hollywood star means the world as we carry on with his important work."

Irwin is being honoured alongside an impressive 2018 class including stars Jack Black, Kirsten Dunst, Jeff Goldblum, Jennifer Lawrence, Snoop Dogg, Weird Al Yankovic and Sir Richard Branson among others.

What a wonderful legacy!
