Patrons and staff at a local pub in Llantrisant were stunned when Welsh music legend Sir Tom Jones made an unannounced visit while in the area for a family funeral.
The 83-year-old singer, who grew up in nearby Treforest, stopped by The Cross Inn for a quiet pint during his return to south Wales. Known for his appreciation of a good beer—especially a local brew—Sir Tom enjoyed his drink in peace but was happy to pose for photos with the pub team, including landlord Martin Williams.
Following the funeral, the reception took place at Pontyclun RFC, which also posted images of the superstar mingling with staff. Later that day, Sir Tom is believed to have visited another familiar haunt—The Bunch of Grapes in Pontypridd, an area close to his heart.
