As per reports from The Independent, Ozzy’s funeral procession was joined by a local brass band, Bostin Brass, and paused at various spots along the route – the Black Sabbath bridge and bench – that have been transformed into tribute sites following his passing on July 22 at age 76.

With a noticeable display of emotion, Sharon Osbourne was seen alongside her children, Jack and Kelly, placing flowers and greeting well-wishers. A throng of people had gathered to pay tribute to one of Birmingham’s most celebrated figures, with many leaving heartfelt messages, candles, and keepsakes as a symbol of their admiration.

He was in the company of his family and bathed in love. We kindly ask for everyone’s understanding and respect for our family’s privacy during this difficult time.

After the public parade concluded, a private funeral service transpired in Birmingham. Notable musicians, such as members from Metallica, were spotted arriving at the venue.
