Tributes continue to be paid to Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb following his death on Sunday at the age of 62.
Celine Dion, who performed with Gibb and his brothers Barry and Maurice on her 1998 track Immortality, said she was "very sad" to hear of his passing.
The Who's Roger Daltrey said Gibb was "a lovely, lovely guy", while Labour leader Ed Miliband said he would be "remembered for his incredible gifts".
A floral tribute was left on the Bee Gees' star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.
Flowers were also placed by fans outside his home in Thame, Oxfordshire.
A Stoke-on-Trent based children's charity Cauldwell Children, which helps terminally ill youngsters and their families, also paid tribute to Gibb, one of their supporters.
Charity chief executive Trudi Beswick said: "Over the last 18 months we have had the pleasure of working with Robin on several occasions. He was an extremely caring and compassionate person who dedicated much of his time to helping others."
A Manx charity said Gibb would be very much missed.
Sir Miles Walker, from Hospice Isle of Man, said: "Robin had a quiet and shy way about him, and everyone enjoyed having him as one of the locals."
Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced later this week.
According to The Sun, the singer made a dying wish for Bee Gees hit How Deep Is Your Love to be played at the service.
Gibb died at the London Clinic following a long fight with cancer. His second wife Dwina, sons Spencer and Robin-John and daughter Melissa were at his bedside.
