With his remains already being flown out of New York City to Los Angeles, an intimate memorial for Heath Ledger was held in the City of Angels on Saturday night.
The ceremony, which was attended by immediate family and close friends including former girlfriend Naomi Watts, was a “discreet 30-minute service held at Westwood Village Memorial Park.”
People reports continue: “Around 8 p.m. that evening, a small gathering of black-dressed mourners, including Watts, was seen in the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel for a private event. Ledger’s rep had said that no public memorial was planned for Los Angeles.”
Meanwhile, earlier in the day in New York, about 1,000 guests attending a memorial event were read a message from Ledger’s father, Kim Ledger, by Australia’s consul-general.
The message read: “Heath did not become an actor for the fame or fortune. He loved his craft and he loved helping his friends. He loved chess and skateboarding too. My image of Heath in New York is him with his skateboard, a canvas bag and his beanie. That was Heath to me.”
From this point, Ledger’s body is to be flown to Australia where a memorial and burial in Ledger’s hometown of Perth are expected.
