Dame Olivia Newton-John's radiance, talent and passion is being remembered across Australia today.
It's been six months since the British-born Australian singer and actor died at her ranch in Southern California at the age of 73.WatchThousands expected at state memorial service for Olivia Newton John Music commentator Glenn A Baker told ABC News Breakfast Newton-John was someone you couldn't ignore from a young age."The voice wasn't the strongest voice in creation but it was incredibly melodic, incredibly seductive and a powerful voice."
"We love Livvy because she loved us and she flew the Australian flag even when she didn't have to and all the way through her career she was surrounded by Australian people."
How about restrict state funerals to those heroes/heroines that could never afford the funeral themselves? There are many great people out there who risk their life to help otheres or selflessly help the poor or downtrodden. Maybe give them a state funeral instead next time?
