Sabine Neumann and her son Enrico arrived from Berlin, Germany, on Friday to attend the tribute and Monday’s service.
Enrico said his mother had also been a Tyler fan so he began listening to her music as a child.
“It’s so special to be here with my mother,” he said.
“She’s been very emotional about sharing this opportunity with me.
The mother and son had tickets to see Bonnie Tyler perform live in November this year in Berlin.
“My mother has seen her live all across Germany”, Enrico said, “but I never got the chance to which is why this was even more special for me”.
Monika Macleod-Elliott from Basingstoke said: “I grew up with her music, but never was fortunate to see her live so coming here today was a way of saying goodbye and paying my respects.
“I think it’s going to be emotional but we’re celebrating and she’d want us to be singing along and happy.”
