Crowe Crosses the Globe for Harris...

Australian actor Russell Crowe literally crossed the globe to pay tribute to his fellow Gladiator Star, the late Richard Harris, at his wake in London.

In his tribute Crowe reiterated the Patrick Kavanagh poem which got cut from his controversial BAFTA speech in February by a BBC director .

According to reports Crowe, who traveled 5,500 miles from Mexico to be there, raised a pint of Guinness in the London's Goring Hotel - where Harris' friends and family were gathered - and recited Sanctity:

"To be a poet and not know the trade,
To be a lover and repel all women,
Twin ironies by which great saints are made,
The agonising pincer jaws of heaven."

Richard Harris' funeral was held at Thomas Moore Catholic church in Chelsea. His sons Damian, Jamie and Jared also paid their own tributes at the wake.

Before his death from Hodgkin's Disease at the age of 72, Harris wrote of Crowe:

"Top bloke, loves his rugby, doesn't give a stuff, brilliant actor, a much loved new friend. He will carry the baton on."
