Bonnie Tyler died on July 8 at Faro Hospital, Algarve, at the age of 75. The details of the funeral ceremonies of the iconic singer, which will take place from 15 to 17 August in Wales, were now revealed.
In a note revealed on Saturday by William Pressdee Funeralcare it is announced that the body of Gaynor Hopkins – known in the artistic world as Bonnie Tyler – will be veiled in the family home where it will arrive at 3:30 on Saturday, August 15.
Those who wish to pay tribute to the artist can join on Newton Road, with the hearse from the “William Pressdee Funeralcare, on Stanley Street, at 3:15 pm, following Newton Road and then on Mumbles Road”, is indicated.
As early as August 17, the funeral will take place. The ceremony at the Church of Santa Maria in Swansea will be broadcast on giant screens outside the church – as well as it can be monitored online through the website www.bonnietyler.com
Family members and guests will have priority over places within the church, but “there will be a limited number of seats available to the general public”.
Bonnie Tyler's body will then be routed to Skewen, where it should arrive by 1:20. From this moment on, farewells are “private”, reserved for the family.
Bonnie Tyler, remember, was admitted to Faro Hospital in the Algarve since the end of April – the unit where she died. The singer will have undergone surgery to remove the appendix, which will have burst. The interpreter will then have been diagnosed with a generalised infection.
