Body of Shane Warne has arrived home on private jet | ChrisBarrett_
It arrived at Essendon Airport in a charter plane just after 8.30pm Thursday.
“The world will be a lesser place without him,” Frank said. “I guess this is our way just to be here, to be part of it … the momentum of emotion people are feeling.“Everything about [his children’s] lives would revolve around their dad.”Both said they had been touched by stories of Warne’s generosity towards others.
Australian government officials, including Australia’s ambassador to Thailand, Allan McKinnon, were at the airport on Thursday as the charter flight departed. It is unknown whether Warne’s former fiancee, the actress Liz Hurley will make the trip to Australia. “It still hasn’t really sunk in,” Warner said. “When we first found out, we thought it was a joke,” Warner said.“We’re going to miss rocking up to the ground and hearing his stories. He’s just such a likeable guy. Australia is worse off with him leaving.”
