Thousands of fans lined the streets of Mumbles, Wales, on Saturday to pay their final respects to singer Bonnie Tyler, who died a month ago. The crowd sang her hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart" as her coffin passed by. Tyler, born Gaynor Hopkins in 1951, died on July 8 in Portugal at age 75 after complications from intestinal surgery. Her flag-draped coffin was driven to her former home, with mourners applauding and throwing flowers. A public memorial service will be held Monday at Swansea Minster, viewable on a large screen nearby. Tyler, known for hits like "It's a Heartache," remained deeply connected to her Welsh roots throughout her international career.
