Bonnie Tyler was a Welsh icon and it was apparent how personal that connection felt. So many people came to say goodbye, and almost everyone we spoke to had a story about her.
One woman in her 80s remembered Bonnie, aged 14, working in her local fruit and veg shop, another reminisced about singing karaoke at Bonnie’s house. And although the stories were all different, the same words kept coming up- humble, friendly, generous.
She never forgot where she came from, and it was clear how much that meant to the people here.
