Heath Ledger - Friends speak out after ocean dip at wake
Monday, 11 February 2008
Heath Ledger's friends and family celebrated his life on Cottesloe Beach over the weekend.
Heath's wake was held in the Indiana Tea House before his friends took an ocean dip.
Women went into the water in their black dresses and the men stripped off to their underwear.
A mourner told People: "It's exactly what Heath would have wanted."
Michelle Williams was led to the water and joined in. The friends cheered before Michelle made her way back to the shore.
Heath's dad shouted "Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!" and put his thumbs up.
Everyone got out of the water as the sun began to set. They stood in a line watching the sun go down.
Two mourners told People: "The sun goes down on our love,"
"But it will never go down on Heathy."
Michelle Williams left the wake with Heath's parents. Heath's mother rested her head on Michelle as they drove off.
