<p>Have just seen quite a little bit of Robin's funeral procession and his internment on our news and it was really quite beautiful and oh so sad seeing those black horses with their black plumes pulling a white glass coach with Robin's white coffin inside and the top was covered completely in red roses and from the crowds that gathered to see him pass many stepped forward and threw flowers on the top as well ....all the family walked behind his coffin to the church and they also allowed a small shot of his coffin being carried into the church and then. although his actual site of internment was shielded by shrubs, you saw Barry and then you could see all the boys who were holding the cords letting them go and at the point, when you knew he had been lowered, Barry raised his head and looked toward the sky. Funnily enough it appeared as though the age old custom was adhered to in that no women went to the graveside.....maybe I have got it completely wrong and it was only the angle of the camera, as it was concentrating on Barry, but I saw no women, not even Dwina.</p>

<p>An article on Robin's funeral ......................</p>
<p></p>
<div class="yom-mod yom-art-content"><div class="bd"><p class="first">"Bee Gee Barry Gibb paid an emotional tribute to his brother Robin's "magnificent mind and his beautiful heart" at his funeral - saying he had finally been reunited with his twin.</p>
<p>The 62-year-old singer died from kidney failure last month after fighting cancer and pneumonia and suffering from a serious bowel condition.</p>
<p>Barry, the sole surviving member of the Bee Gees trio, had a trembling voice as he told the congregation at St Mary's Church in Thame, Oxfordshire: "Life is too short. In Robin's case, absolutely too short.</p>
<p>"We should have had 20 years, 30 years of his magnificent mind and his beautiful heart."</p>
<p>Referring to the late Maurice Gibb, who died in 2003, he added: "When you're twins, you're twins all your life. You go through every emotion.</p>
<p>"And they're finally together. I think the greatest pain for Robin in the past 10 years was losing his twin brother, and I think it did all kinds of things to him. And now they're together."</p>
<p>Robin's elderly mother, Barbara, left the church just before Barry - the last of the four Gibb brothers - gave his eulogy.</p>
<p>Mourners wept as Robin's ornate white coffin entered the church to the sound of the Bee Gees' hit How Deep Is Your Love. Close relatives, including Robin's widow, Dwina, and his mother followed behind.</p>
<p>Hundreds of well-wishers lined the streets to pay their respects and see his coffin being taken to the church in a horse-drawn carriage.</p>
<p>The cortege was followed by Robin's two Irish wolfhounds, Ollie and Missy, together with friends and family. Guests in attendance included Sir Tim Rice, DJ Mike Read and Uri Geller."</p>
<p></p>
<p>and a second.........................</p>
<p></p>
<p class="first"><span id="lw_1339171329_0" class="yshortcuts">"Robin Gibb</span> has been laid to rest in a small English churchyard opposite his Oxfordshire home of more than 19 years.</p>
<p>His mother <span id="lw_1339171329_1" class="yshortcuts">Barbara Gibb</span>, now in her 90s, buried the third of her sons under a rain-filled sky. She was accompanied by Gibb's children and his surviving brother Barry.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Hundreds of fans lined the windswept high street in <span id="lw_1339171329_3" class="yshortcuts">Thame, Oxfordshire</span>, to pay their respects to the <span id="lw_1339171329_2" class="yshortcuts">Bee Gees</span> singer and songwriter .</p>
<p>Although the funeral service was private, the family said Gibb had wanted his local friends to be able to say goodbye.</p>
<p>A glass-sided, horse-drawn carriage carried the singer's coffin draped in the flag of his birthplace the Isle of Man.</p>
<p>It was met outside the gates of his 13th century home by a guard of honour formed by air cadets from 594 <span id="lw_1339171329_4" class="yshortcuts">Thame Squadron</span>, reflecting Gibb's support for the British armed forces.</p>
<p>Led by a solitary piper and followed by Gibb's two Irish wolfhounds, Ollie and Missy, the funeral cortege made its way once round Thame Town Hall.</p>
<p>Singer Peter Andre, DJ Mike Reid, <span id="lw_1339171329_5" class="yshortcuts">psychic Uri Geller</span> and lyricist Sir Tim Rice were among the friends and family who made up the funeral procession.</p>
<p>Moira Harfield, a fan who had travelled from Winchester to pay her respects, said: "I've been a fan of the Bee Gees for nearly 47 years. They've just always been a part of my life. The music's always been there for me and I absolutely adore all of them.</p>
<p>"I said to my husband last night, 'I just have to be there', so here we are," she added.</p>
<p>Since Gibb died on May 20 from kidney failure after fighting bowel cancer and pneumonia, tributes have poured in from around the world.</p>
<p> :: The Best Of The Bee Gees </p>
<p></p>
<p>The musician behind much-loved hits like Night Fever and Staying Alive was just 62.</p>
<p>No cameras were allowed into St Mary's Church, where the service took place, but the strains of How Deep is Your Love filled the churchyard as Gibb's coffin was taken into the church.</p>
<p>Two of his children Spencer and Melissa read tributes to their father, as did his brother Barry.</p>
<p>Gibb's wife Dwina read a poem she had written called My Songbird Has Flown.</p>
<p>Her husband was buried close to a small memorial for his youngest brother Andy.</p>
<p>A public memorial service will be held at St Paul's Cathedral in London in September."</p>

<p>Drawn Carriage<br/><br/>Late Bee Gees star's coffin will be seen in glass-sided carriage.<br/>Robin Gibb's coffin will be transported to his funeral tomorrow (08.06.12) <br/>in a horse-drawn carriage through his home town.<br/>A service is due to take place at St Mary's Church in Thame, Oxfordshire, <br/>close to the property in which the Bee Gees singer lived for many years.<br/>Robin's glass-sided carriage - in which his coffin will be visible - will be <br/>drawn by four horses.<br/>In a statement, his family said: ''At his wish, he will say a final goodbye <br/>to fans and his home town of Thame, Oxon, this Friday prior to the <br/>funeral''.<br/>The family asked well-wishers and fans who want to pay their final respects <br/>to use the full length of the High Street to avoid congestion.<br/>They requested donations to children's charities the Rebecca House Hospice <br/>and Wish Upon A Dream as they were ''close to his heart''.<br/>His music will form a part of the service. His son RJ previously said that <br/>the hit 'I Started A Joke' will be played at the church.<br/>And the track 'Don't Cry Alone' - one of his final compositions from his <br/>Titanic Requiem, premiered only weeks before his death - will also be <br/>played.<br/>A memorial service for the star is expected to follow later in the year, <br/>possibly at St Paul's Cathedral.<br/>Robin died from kidney failure last month after fighting cancer and <br/>pneumonia and suffering from a serious bowel condition.
