Singer Bonnie Tyler is being laid to rest in Wales in a funeral that begins in Swansea, with services and a procession drawing large crowds.

Multiple outlets report that fans gather along streets around Mumbles and near churches as her white coffin is carried through the area. Roads are reported to be closed or affected during the journey. The Independent and WalesOnline describe live coverage of supporters gathering to pay respects, while BreakingNews.ie adds accounts of mourners and fans shouting “goodbye” as the coffin arrives at Swansea Minster.

BBC News says the hometown service takes place in Swansea before the cortege goes to Skewen, where Tyler grew up. WalesOnline further reports the procession returns to her home in Llwynderw, while Evening Standard and BreakingNews.ie focus on the coffin being brought to her former home in Mumbles and crowds lining the route. Across sources, Tyler is consistently described as having been widely known as “Total Eclipse of the Heart” singer, with her birth name, Gaynor Hopkins, also mentioned in some reports.
