Steve Irwin's widow has asked fans to wear his trademark khaki uniform to mark the first anniversary of his death.Terri Irwin has asked for privacy today (04.09.07) as she remembers the beloved Australian environmentalist - who was killed when a stingray barb pierced his heart - and called for November 15 to be known as 'Steve Irwin Day'.In a message posted on her late husband's Australia Zoo website, Terri said it would be a fitting tribute to the world famous 'Crocodile Hunter' if fans dressed up as him in his safari shorts and shirt for the commemorative day.She said: "It is still very raw and hard. But my husband had millions of fans and I know they will want to pay their respects. And what better way to get everyone to dress like him."Terri is reportedly marking the first anniversary of her husband's passing with a low-key day with their nine-year-old daughter Bindi and three-year-old son Bob in her native US.Hundreds of fans have travelled to Steve's zoo on the Gold Coast to pay their respects by laying flowers, plants and leaving messages.Queensland's State Premier Peter Beattie also paid tribute to Steve, describing him as one of the state's greatest cultural ambassadors.Steve was killed aged 44 on September 4, 2006, during a freak accident when he was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northern Australia.
