    Actor Russell Crowe has shared a moving image of a chapel at his country estate ahead of his late father’s memorial. 

    On Saturday, the same day of the service, the 57-year-old posted a picture of the sunrise at his property at Nana Glen, near Coffs Harbour on the north coast of NSW, showing the set-up for the emotional day. 

    Russell reflected on the use of the chapel over the years and said that he thinks his late father John Alexander would be ‘pleased’ with the service he arranged.

    ‘Weddings, string quartets, soloists, opera singers, meditation, prayer, yoga… the chapel has hosted a lot of things over the years,’ Russell’s post began.

    ‘Today it will host it’s first funeral/memorial.’

    He touchingly added: ‘My dad loved this building. He was fascinated by it. Pretty sure he’d be pleased.’

    The memorial for his father John Alexander Crowe will be held on Saturday, June 5.

    Earlier this week, Russell shared a photo of his 85-year-old dad on Twitter, and suggested fans donate to the Charlie Teo Foundation in lieu of sending flowers.

    John died suddenly on board a Qantaslink flight from Sydney to Coffs Harbour in March.

    In late March, Russell announced the sad news of his father’s death in a series of Twitter posts.  

    He wrote: ‘I arrived back in the bush last night. Today, although the sun is shining and the torrential rain has abated, this date will forever be tinged with sadness.

    ‘My dear old man, my beautiful dad, the most gentle of men, has passed away.

    ‘I’m posting this because I know there are people all over the world who’s heart he touched and who’s ribs he tickled with his sparkly eyes and his cheeky attitude to everyone, and everything, and this is probably as efficient a method as any to pass on the news.
