Tens of thousands of people lined the streets of the central England city where Black Sabbath was formed to catch a glimpse of the heavy metal icon’s hearse.

Sharon and Kelly Osbourne — who starred alongside Ozzy in the family's genre-defining reality show — were in tears as they lay flowers at the Black Sabbath Bridge in Birmingham, England.

Sharon Osbourne broke down in tears as fans filled the streets of Birmingham to pay tribute to her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne, during a public funeral procession. The Black Sabbath frontman, who passed away last Tuesday aged 76, was honoured with a moving send-off through his hometown on Wednesday.
