Eight days after his death, Ozzy Osbourne will make his final journey through his home city of Birmingham as fans, friends and family say goodbye.
The Black Sabbath singer’s body will be taken by hearse through the city today, on the way to his private funeral.
Funded by the family of the heavy metal pioneer, who grew up in Aston, the event is a chance for the city to pay its last respects to one of its “greatest legends”, the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Zafar Iqbal, said.
The event will also allow those among the cortege to see the many floral tributes and messages left by his legions of fans on Black Sabbath Bridge.
It is almost three weeks after he performed at Black Sabbath’s farewell gig, Back to the Beginning.
