Fans of late chart star Robin Gibb will have a chance to pay their final respects when his horse-drawn carriage travels through the town he called home before his funeral.

A service is due to take place on Friday at St Mary's Church in Thame, Oxfordshire, close to the property in which the Bee Gees singer lived for many years.

Gibb died from kidney failure last month after fighting cancer and pneumonia and suffering from a serious bowel condition. His death drew tributes from across the music world and from politicians including Tony Blair.

Gibb's glass-sided carriage will be drawn by four horses.
