Bindi Irwin paid tribute to her late dad, Steve Irwin, on Father’s Day in the sweetest way.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the newly-engaged 21-year-old posted a sweet montage of clips featuring the animal activist – who died in 2006 after being attacked by a stingray.
Watch the heart-warming video below:
“It’s Father’s Day here in Australia❤️ Reflecting on these wonderful moments,” Bindi captioned the video.
“Hug the people in your life who bring light to your heart and always remember that love lasts forever.”
Earlier this year, Bindi broke hearts everywhere when she admitted during an interview with Stellar magazine that she still cried whenever she sees footage of her late father.
“It was just an ordinary day and we were playing the video where we petition against harvesting of crocodile eggs,” the Australia Zoo conservationist told the magazine. “There’s old footage of dad with the crocodiles and, even though I’ve seen the video maybe 50 times, that day I started crying.”
Bindi added, “Some days you feel the grief more than others. What gets to me are those moments when I’d love him to be here to share what we’re doing.“
“It could be when my brother is receiving an accolade for his photography, or it might be at the end of the day when we’re having dinner and laughing. I’ll think: ‘I wish Dad was here for this.’ But he’s just not there,” she said.
Shortly after announcing her engagement to fiancé Chandler Powell, the former Dancing With The Stars competitor revealed exactly how she would honour her dad on her wedding day.
‘I think that for me, it’ll be really important that Robert [Bindi’s brother] walks me down the aisle. That’s something that I really want to do,’ she said.
Bindi also revealed that she would have her father and daughter dance with mum, Terri Irwin.
