    Members of the public are being invited to pay their respects to Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler as she makes her final journeys through Mumbles and her hometown of Skewen.

    The singer is currently resting at William Pressdee Funeralcare in Mumbles and will return to her home in Llwynderw on Saturday, August 15.

    The hearse is expected to leave at approximately 3.15pm, travelling along Newton Road before continuing onto Mumbles Road.

    People wishing to pay their respects are invited to line Newton Road.

    To allow this to take place safely, Newton Road will close from its junction with Mumbles Road, near the White Rose, to Langland Road, near Oystermouth School, from approximately 3pm.

    Buses will be allowed through the closure for as long as it remains safe. The road will reopen as soon as possible after the cortege has passed.

    A celebration of Bonnie’s life will then take place at Swansea Minster, also known as St Mary’s Church, at noon on Monday, August 17.

    Entry to the church will be limited to family, friends and invited guests. Members of the public will be able to watch the service on a large screen in nearby St David’s Square.

    The service will also be streamed online and is expected to last approximately one hour.

    The funeral directors have advised online viewers to follow the link and register as a user on the platform before the service begins.

    They have stressed that this is the only available live stream and that no payment will be requested. Anyone directed to a website asking for payment should not proceed.

    Following the service, Bonnie will make a final journey through Skewen at approximately 1.20pm before a strictly private family committal and farewell service.

    The route from Swansea will travel along Fabian Way to Ashleigh Terrace through Jersey Marine, before continuing along Pen Y Heol, Burrows Road, Hen Hoel, New Road, Sidling Terrace, Park Avenue and Peniel Green Road.

    Swansea Council’s Deputy Leader Andrea Harrington said: “Our thoughts remain with Bonnie’s family and friends at this difficult time.

    “We know that many people across Swansea, Wales and much further afield will want the opportunity to pay their respects and celebrate her remarkable life and achievements.

    “We would ask everyone attending any part of the arrangements to do so respectfully, follow any instructions from stewards and police officers, and help ensure the occasion is a fitting tribute to one of Wales’ most loved performers.”

    A Book of Condolence is available at Y Storfa on Oxford Street until August 24 during its regular opening hours.

    An online Book of Condolence is also available.

    The Lord Mayor of Swansea, Penny Matthews, has written to Bonnie’s family to offer condolences on behalf of the people of Swansea.

    Bonnie rose to worldwide fame with hits including It’s a Heartache, Total Eclipse of the Heart and Holding Out for a Hero.

    Her success made her one of Wales’ most celebrated performers, with musicians and fans around the world paying tribute following her death.
