Hundreds gather for Bonnie Tyler procession in Wales ahead of funeral
Hundreds of Bonnie Tyler fans gathered for a procession to honour the late singer ahead of her funeral in Wales.
Fans have begun lining the streets of Swansea to pay their respects to the late singer Bonnie Tyler as her coffin is taken to her Mumbles home. The news of her death at the age of 75 in Portugal came as a shock to many, but tributes poured in from celebrities like Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bryan Adams, and Rod Stewart. Despite her international career, Tyler is remembered fondly in her Welsh hometown, with locals praising her as a true "Swansea girl."
Family and friends will gather outside her home and on roads leading to her Mumbles residence on Saturday afternoon to honor her life. Tyler's music, which topped charts in both the UK and US, will continue to be celebrated at St Mary's Church in Swansea on Monday, with her funeral service following shortly after.
