Heath's Family Says Goodbye


Heath Ledger's family and former fiancée Michelle Williams joined hundreds of mourners at a memorial service for the star in his home town.

Heartbroken Michelle wore dark sunglasses and clung tightly to the hand of Ledger's sister Kate as they walked into the ceremony, held on a school playing field in Como, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. After the service, the family went to Fremantle Cemetery, where Ledger was laid to rest in front of about 10 members of his immediate family in what his father described as a "very, very private" funeral.

The actor is thought to have been cremated.
A wake was held at a restaurant on a Perth beach where Ledger had loved to surf
