Fans arrived hours early for Bonnie Tyler’s funeral to their pay respects to the singer and say goodbye.
The Total Eclipse Of The Heart star, whose real name was Gaynor Hopkins, died in July at the age of 75.
A hearse carrying her coffin arrived at Swansea Minster to applause from the crowd.
The streets of Mumbles in Swansea, where Tyler lived and was well-known among locals, were packed with mourners on Saturday for the procession of her coffin to her home.
Those who knew and loved Tyler gathered again for a celebration of her life at Swansea Minster at 12pm today.
Bonnie Tyler died in July aged 75
Welsh musician Mal Pope, a longtime friend of Tyler, said it had been an “emotional” weekend leading up to the funeral.
He said: “She felt like a really local person and I think sometimes we forgot she was an international superstar.
“We recorded together, we performed on stage together, she’d come on my TV and radio shows, she would always turn up to support me and never ever ask for anything in return.”
The service at Swansea Minster will be conducted by Reverend Canon Justin Davies, while the entry music will be two of Tyler’s songs: If I Sing You A Love Song and It’s A Heartache.
Roger Bell, the talent scout who discovered the performer when she performed in a club in Swansea, will share a tribute at the service, as will Tyler’s long-time manager, Matthew Davis.
The order of service also lists Bridge Over Troubled Water, Only Men Aloud, Total Eclipse Of The Heart, Those Were The Days and Making Love Out Of Nothing as other songs set to be played during Tyler’s funeral.
Her family also asked that in lieu of flowers, people supported two charities of which she was a patron: Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital for Wales and Cerebral Palsy Cymru.
In the order of the service, they wrote the following of Tyler: “She is remembered as a warm, generous artist whose music touched generations and continues to fill dance floors and karaoke booths around the world.”
They also said that Tyler’s legacy “lives on in the timeless songs that made her a legend”.
