Barry Gibb: Robin and I fought to the end If there's conflict in your lives - get rid of it. He said their favourite television programme was The Goons, and added: "There was no funnier man than Spike Milligan - apart from Robin. And his sharp, intuitive wit will live with us forever. You could stand Robin next to Spike Milligan and it would be a competition. Referring to the late Maurice Gibb, he added: "They were both beautiful. And now they're together. They're actually together. Mourners wept as Robin's ornate white coffin entered the church to the sound of the Bee Gees' hit How Deep Is Your Love. Barry Gibb and the vicar leading the service, the Reverend Alan Garratt, walked up the aisle ahead of it as a round of spontaneous applause broke out from well-wishers outside the church. Close relatives, including Robin's widow, Dwina, and his mother, Barbara, followed behind. One woman was so overcome with grief she had to be physically supported as she walked to her seat. Barbara left the church just before Barry - the last of the four Gibb brothers - gave his eulogy. He told the congregation: "This is a very strange experience, having already lost two brothers and now Rob. I think there are an awful lot of things happening right now that maybe you won't be aware of. And one is how many people came on such a terrible day. It is staggering. So many people loved this boy, so many illustrious people are here that loved him. And that is such a pleasure to witness. The three of us have seen a lot of crowds but I've never seen so much love in one crowd as I'm looking at today - for Rob, you know, for the music. And it's an intense experience for me. I think it's an experience none of us will forget. We will keep him in our hearts and minds forever. Hundreds of well-wishers lined the streets of his home town of Thame in Oxfordshire for the funeral of the pop superstar was set to take place this today at a church opposite the singer's sprawling home. Crowds had already begun to arrive outside the church in the early morning, hours before the ceremony was due to begin. Onlookers watched as the white, glass-sided carriage - topped with red roses and pulled by four plumed, black Friesian horses - processed through his adopted town of Thame in Oxfordshire. The cortege was followed by Gibb's two Irish wolfhounds, Ollie and Missy, together with friends and family.
