Just two-and-a-half weeks ago, disciples of the "prince of darkness" flocked to Birmingham for Ozzy Osbourne's final gig. Now they have come back to mourn following his death - placing pint glasses and whisky bottles among the flowers and candles.

Messages at the impromptu shrines to Ozzy Osbourne in Birmingham tell the story of how deeply his impact was felt, and how far it spread.

Some conveyed the pride of his home city ("Birmingham forever Ozzy - you rock!"), while others came from further afield ("Gracias Ozzy!"; "Thank you for the music - from me and all your fans in Bulgaria.")

Others were personal messages about how much his music meant.

"You have touched millions, my whole life your music has played almost as if raising me," another read.
