Bindi Irwin shared an emotional quote online as her dad Steve Irwin was inserted into one of her wedding photos from her big day to partner Chandler Powell.
Bindi, 22, received a touching gift from a fan to help immortalise her father’s memory.
Steve was killed in 2006 after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb.
However, artist and fan Debb Oliver gave Bindi a digital print with her dad included in one of her wedding shots.
Bindi shared a snap of herself holding the print on Instagram alongside mother Terri, brother Robert, and husband Chandler.

“Thank you @the_monkey_brush for creating this spectacular piece.”
The post racked up more than 247,000 likes as fans gushed over the print.
One wrote: “Awwww that is amazing,” while another added: “Oh my this is absolutely beautiful.”

A third commented: “So beautiful. Full of love.”
Bindi tied the knot with Chandler at Australia Zoo back in March, and were forced to have their honeymoon there due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The couple placed a portrait of Steve on an easel and posed next to it for their wedding photographs at the time.

Bindi and Chandler got engaged on her 21st birthday last year.
She couldn’t resist reflecting on the exciting moment as she shared a loved-up photo with Chandler on Instagram on Sunday.
Bindi wrote: “Just over a year ago @chandlerpowell proposed.
“Now I get to call this incredible man my husband. Here’s to a lifetime of adventure together.
“My sunshine, I love you with all my heart.”
