A bit suprised this hasn't already been posted.

The funeral of Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb has been held in his home town in Oxfordshire.
Hundreds of fans lined the streets of Thame earlier as a lone bagpiper led a procession through the town.
Gibb's body was carried in a horse-drawn carriage, followed by two Irish wolfhounds and guests, including his brother Barry and broadcaster Paul Gambaccini.
Gibb died from kidney failure in May. He had battled cancer and pneumonia.
The horse-drawn carriage passed through the town prior to a private church service attended by his family and close friends being held.

I'm not a Bee Gees fan but I will salute him for his work to get Bomber Command a memorial.

Farewell.

Precisely...but he did a lot more for the local area and a great deal of charitable work.

RIP Robin
