Memorial Attended by 500 People in Melbourne - RIP Chris Lane
Television footage of the funeral service was broadcast in evening news bulletins across Australia.
Peter Lane told mourners that the senseless way his son died made the tragedy harder to comprehend. But he said he was getting through the sadness with the help of a lesson he had learned from his only son about letting things go.
"What has happened to Chris is just not fair, but hanging on to it just won't help," he said.
He described his son as mature beyond his years, and said he had been planning a future with his girlfriend of four years.

The Oklahoma medical examiner said Tuesday that the bullet that killed Lane collapsed both of his lungs, fractured two ribs and tore through his aorta and pulmonary artery before lodging in his shoulder. The autopsy report supports the police theory that it was shot from a small-caliber weapon from behind by someone passing him in a car and that the shooter intended to kill Lane by aiming for his upper torso.
