A celebration of life service and procession has been announced in Swansea following the death of Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler.

The Total Eclipse of the Heart singer died “unexpectedly” on 8 July, aged 75, at a Portugal hospital, “as a result of the illness that she was being treated for”, her family said in a statement released on the star’s official website, external.

At the time, tributes poured in from a host of friends and stars including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart.

It has now been confirmed that her coffin will be brought to her Mumbles home on 15 August at 15:30 BST, with people invited to “pay their respects” by lining Newton Road at 15:15.

Tyler, born Gaynor Hopkins – also known for hits including Holding Out For A Hero and Here She Comes – is survived by her husband of more than 50 years, Robert Sullivan.

Following a celebration of her life at St Mary’s Church, Swansea, on 17 August at 12:00 BST, she will “return to her hometown” of Skewen, Neath Port Talbot, travelling through the village at about 13:20 BST en route to a private family service.

A funeral notice from William Pressdee Funeralcare on Friday, 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”.

It described her as a dear sister of Marlene, Angela, Avis, Paul and the late Pauline and Lynn, much loved sister-in-law of Paul and Angela, Michael and Winnie, Gwyn, Jan, Teresa, Margaret and the late Billy, and a “devoted and wonderful Aunty Gaynor” to all her nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.

The notice requested “family flowers only” at the funeral, but said anyone who wished to could make a donation in her memory to two charities where Tyler was a patron – Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital for Wales and Cerebral Palsy Cymru.

“Her legacy lives on in the timeless songs that made her a legend,” it said.
