Bonnie Tyler’s celebration of life attended by fans in Mumbles


The celebration of Tyler’s life will continue from midday on Monday, at St Mary’s Church in Swansea.

She’ll then return to her hometown in Neath Port Talbot, travelling through the village at about 13:20 BST before a private family service.

A funeral notice from William Pressdee Funeralcare, on behalf of Tyler’s family, said she would be remembered as “a warm, generous artist whose music touched generations and continues to fill dance floors and karaoke booths around the world”.

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.

“My mother has seen her live all across Germany, 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.”
