Just so it's down in writing, at my funeral I want Queen's 'Another
One Bites The Dust' as people walk in, and Groove Armada's 'At
The River' as they carry the coffin out. And if we have to have a hymn I'll go with hymn 75 from the Come & Praise hymn book they had at school, I never did know what it was called.
I do not, repeat do not, want Robbie Williams' 'Angels'. But, it would seem, I'm in the minority. The Robbie track is apparently the record most Britons say they would like to played at their funeral. Second favourite is slightly more preferable - **Frank
Sinatra**'s 'My Way', while the third choice is cool but predictable
- Monty Python's 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life'.
In the Europe wide version of the survey, undertaken by digital
TV channel Music Choice, Queen's 'The Show Must Go On' was most popular, followed by Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' and
AC/DC's 'Highway to Hell' - which is genius. As for our European brothers, the Italians and Spanish picked Mozart's 'Requiem' and The Beatles' classic 'Let It Be' as favourites, while the
Danish, who also rated 'Angels' very highly, also picked U2's
'With Or Without You'.
Commenting on the survey, Music Choice's told reporters: "Music can be very personal, indeed it often helps create a sense of identity.
Wanting to share your most treasured musical gem with those you are leaving behind is the perfect way to sign off and leave a lasting impression."
