Sharon Osbourne and couple’s children join mourners as singer’s hearse is driven through birthplace of heavy metal
Thousands of fans lined the streets of Birmingham to watch Ozzy Osbourne make his final journey through his home city, with his tearful family laying tributes as crowds chanted the late singer’s name.
A hearse carrying Osbourne, who died last week aged 76, made its way through the city centre on Wednesday afternoon on the way to his private funeral.
The procession stopped on “Black Sabbath Bridge”, where his family members placed roses among the hundreds of tributes left for the heavy metal pioneer in front of a bench depicting the band.
A visibly emotional Sharon Osbourne, the singer’s wife of 43 years, was aided by her children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, as she tearfully took in the sea of tributes and signalled a peace sign to the crowd before leaving.
