Robin Gibb, who died on May 20 aged 62, was buried Friday at St Mary's Church in his hometown of Thame, Oxfordshire.
Barry Gibb, the only remaining member of the Bee Gees placed a red rose on his brother Robin's coffin as he bid farewell to his last surviving sibling.
The 65-year-old singer gripped his wife Linda's hand as he watched his brother's burial.
In an emotional tribute, Barry spoke of Robin's 'magnificent mind and his beautiful heart'.
With a trembling voice, the singer told the congregation: 'Life is too short. In Robin's case, absolutely too short.
He told the congregation: 'This is a very strange experience, having already lost two brothers and now Rob.
Gibb's family and friends were joined by hundreds of fans, who lined the streets as a glass horse-drawn carriage covered in red roses made its way down the town's high street on the way to the funeral.
Family members including Robin's wife Dwina, his children Spencer, Melissa and RJ, Barry, his wife Linda and his son Stevie, were pictured leading the procession on foot from the gate house of their estate to St Mary's Church.
It had been Gibb's wish to 'say a final goodbye to fans and his home town of Thame', according to his family.
The 62-year-old singer died from kidney failure last month after fighting colon cancer and pneumonia.
The late star's beloved Irish Wolfhounds Ollie and Missy were included in the funeral, following directly behind the cortege and wearing sombre black bows tied around their necks.
Four black horses pulling the carriage wore cloths decorated with gold treble clefs in tribute to Gibb's career, and were accompanied by a piper.
The casket was draped with the flag of the Isle of Man, where the brothers were born.
Celebrity guests including Sir Tim Rice, Uri Geller, Peter Andre, Mike Reed and Leslie Phillips were also seen amongst the mourners.
