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.
