Thousands of Bonnie Tyler fans gathered in the singer's Welsh hometown, coming together to pay tribute to the Eclipse of The Heart icon ahead of her funeral.
The emotional scenes took place in Mumbles, Swansea, where mourners lined the streets as Tyler's coffin was brought home ahead of a private family service.
Flowers were thrown towards the car as it travelled down Newton Road, with the emotional crowd breaking into applause and singing in tribute to the legendary Welsh singer.
Tyler's coffin was draped in the Welsh flag and accompanied by a framed photograph of the star.
The singer, whose real name was Gaynor Hopkins, died aged 75 in hospital in Portugal on July 8.
She had been living in Portugal with her husband Robert Sullivan and died close to their home.
Tyler was later brought back to the UK to be laid to rest in her native Wales.
The procession through Mumbles took place before today's private funeral service, allowing fans the opportunity to say goodbye to one of Wales' most famous musical stars.
Tyler's death came months after she was placed in an induced coma following emergency intestinal surgery and spent time in intensive care.
The singer became an international star during the 1980s, with her distinctive husky voice helping her achieve worldwide success.

Her biggest hit, Total Eclipse Of The Heart, reached number one in both the UK and the US and became one of the defining songs of the decade.
The song featured on her album Faster Than The Speed Of Night, which also topped the UK album charts and became her only UK number one album.
Tyler went on to release a string of other major hits throughout her career, including Holding Out For A Hero and It's A Heartache, as well as If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man).
She also represented the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013.
Tyler performed Believe In Me at the contest in Malmö, Sweden, finishing in 19th place.

Her death has prompted tributes from fans and fellow musicians around the world, with many remembering her distinctive voice and decades-long career.
The emotional scenes in Mumbles offered local fans the chance to pay their respects as the singer returned home for the final time.
