A FRIEND of the late Bee Gee Robin Gibb set off on a 200-mile charity run on Saturday.

William Graydon, the son of Mr Gibb’s manager Ken, is doing the seven-day run in nothing but pink Y-fronts to raise cash for three charities.

The 24-year-old is running from the pop star’s Priest End home to his birthplace in the Isle of Man.

He said: “Losing all dignity as I run up the country will be worth it if we can help.”

Mr Gibb, 62, died in May last year after a battle with cancer.
