SWEET JESUS! How upsetting... And they are so far away from Heath.. My heart goes out to them!

What a idiotic thing to do - I'm talking about the reporter's question at the end. How tactless! Shame on him!

Actually, the reporter was asking for the names of those appearing, which is actually a very important responsibility for the reporter, so they were doing what they needed to do.  I also noticed the Australian press was far more subdued than our press is, and I sensed emotion from the reporters as well.  Around here, nobody would have stopped peppering them with questions.

Still "Can I just ask who you are?" is a bloody crass way of putting it. If he'd said "Well if you don't know who we are, what are you doing here?" would have been a fitting answer.
"Would you mind telling us your names" would have been better. Or ask a neighbour or something - but they're in a hurry.

But how very kind of Ledger Sr to think of all of us just then!

Phillip, is there any way of knowing if his family is aware of this forum? They had such kind words for us, i'd be nice if we could give some back...
