Magento 1.7 Thumbnail Image not Displaying

Building a minicart on top bar in magento theme. Need to show products thumbnail and name in minicart. I have made a file top_cart.phtml in directory "checkout/cart". Using the code given below.

<?php 

$_cartQty = $this->getSummaryCount();
$session = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session');
if ($_cartQty == 0) : ?>
    <span class="titleBlock">Your shopping cart is empty.</span>
<?php else : 
    foreach($session->getQuote()->getAllItems() as $_item): ?>
    <div>
        <span><?php echo $_item->getThumbnailImage(); ?></span>
        <span><?php echo $_item->getName(); ?></span>
    </div>
    <?php endforeach ?>
<?php endif;?>  
?>

Now the name is shown correctly but the thumbnail images are not being shown. Guide plz.

You need to get the image url from the product and not the cart item. Try the following:

<img src="<?php echo $_item->getProduct()->getThumbnailUrl() ?>" alt="<?php echo $_item->getName() ?>" />

Or if you are going to be resizing the image or doing anything else with it then use the catalog/image helper. Here is an example of getting the image and resizing it:

<img src="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_item->getProduct(), 'thumbnail')->resize(50); ?>" alt="<?php echo $_item->getName() ?>" />
