Bonnie Tyler fans line the streets of a Welsh village as her coffin is brought home

Fans lined the streets as the Welsh singer’s coffin returned home, with the crowd singing her biggest hit and donating to two charities instead of sending flowers.

  • On Saturday, thousands of fans lined the streets of Mumbles to pay their respects as Bonnie Tyler's coffin was transported to her former home, Fernhill, ahead of Monday's funeral.
  • Renowned for her husky voice, Tyler rose to international fame with her 1983 hit 'Total Eclipse of the Heart,' earning Grammy nominations and representing Britain in the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest.
  • Local residents in Mumbles described the singer as a 'Swansea girl through and through' who 'never forgot where she came from,' even as her successful career took her across the world.
  • A celebration of life service will be held at Swansea Minster on Monday, with the family requesting donations to Noah's Ark Children's Hospital for Wales and Cerebral Palsy Cymru.
  • Born Gaynor Hopkins in Skewen, Wales, the 75-year-old singer died in Portugal on July 8 and became the first Welsh person to score a number one hit in the United States.
