Robbie Williams wins British funeral top of the pops

LONDON - Robbie Williams has topped the British funeral music chart, leaving Mozart trailing in his wake, according to a survey.

Williams' Angels was the record most Britons would like played at their funeral, with Mozart's Requiem coming in at five in digital broadcaster Music Choice's poll of top 10 British funeral songs.

Frank Sinatra's My Way was second, just ahead of Monty Python's Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

The rest of Europe favoured a more soft rock approach.

Queen's The Show Must Go On topped the European chart, with Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven and AC/DC's Highway to Hell in second and third place.

Over 45,000 music fans from across Europe were polled, with 20,000 Britons taking part.
