One thousand invited guests (and ourselves - NewcastleUtd-mad) will attend the service at Durham Cathedral.
Premier League managers, and others, will attend the thanksgiving - alongside players past and present.
It will be broadcast live on TV, and fans have been invited to watch on big screens at the grounds of Newcastle United and Ipswich Town.
Gary Lineker will lead the personal tributes.
Lineker: "I will be nervous because I won't want to let him or his family down. I could probably do with one of his famous pep talks beforehand."
Sir Alex Ferguson will speak too.
His best man and fellow ex-Fulham player Tom Wilson will speak about Sir Bobby's time as a goal-scoring midfielder, good enough to play 20 times for England.
Finally, cancer specialist Dr Ruth Plummer will talk about his inspiring decision to set up the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation which has raised around £1.8 million for research into early detection of the disease.
Sir Bobby died at home in County Durham aged 76 in July, having fought cancer five times.
