A BLUE plaque to Bee Gees legend Robin Gibb is due to be unveiled at the Oxfordshire house he loved next month.

It will be followed by a celebratory ticket-only garden party, which members of the public can attend, at the home he shared with his family in Thame on Sunday, September 30.

His wife Dwina said: "It is so well-deserved.

"Robin wrote a lot of songs in this house. It is where he created the Titanic Requiem with his son RJ and it is where Barry and Robin wrote You Win Again."

Mr Gibb died on May 20, aged 62, after a lengthy battle with cancer and pneumonia.

People flocked to his home - The Prebendal in Priest End, leaving floral tributes outside.

Then on June 8, thousands of people lined the streets to bid a tearful farewell to the music legend as he was laid to rest at St Mary's Church.
