Robbie Williams has topped the UK 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 ######" in second and third place.

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

Should we be unfortunate to pass away (or when that inevitable time does come) what numbers will be resounding through the churches, temples or whatever, as the ex-pat's and other's “last song we will never hear”?
