Thousands of fans gathered in Mumbles, Wales, to pay final respects to Bonnie Tyler, honoring the world-famous singer with flowers, applause, and her hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart" during a funeral procession. Tyler died in July at age 75 in a Portuguese hospital after a long illness. In Wales, she was remembered as a "Swansea girl through and through" who never forgot her roots, according to BBC. The coffin, draped in the Welsh flag, was accompanied by a framed photo of the singer, born Gaynor Sullivan. A memorial service will be held Monday in Swansea before a private family burial.
