Barry Gibb has put together a video montage to honour his late brother Robin Gibb. Robin died last Sunday. Barry, 65, posted a link to the video titled 'Bodding' on his Twitter page. Bodding was Robin Gibb's nickname. The touching tribute is a compilation of photographs spanning the Gibb's early childhood and their later successes. The first photo is of their parents' wedding.

The video, laid over the Bee Gees song 'Heart Like Mine', shows exclusive footage of all three brothers at home and on tour, spanning over 50 years in total. The video ends with Robin waving at a crowd and giving a thumbs up, then the frame freezes and fades into a picture of Robin with the text "Bodding 1949-2012".

A memorial service for the singer who died of liver and colon cancer will take place at St. Paul's Cathedral. It is said that the family is hoping that stars from the music industry will come and pay their respects in large numbers. The funeral will be held near Thame, Oxfordshire, where Robin lived with his wife Dwina.

Barry and Robin's cousin Hazel Gibb-Shacklock has requested that Robin will posthumously be knighted by Queen Elizabeth. She said, "We were pushing for Robin to be knighted in the New Year's Hounours List because we were very aware that he was ill. If anyone deserves one, it's him. All three of the Bee Gees should be knighted."
