Birmingham is saying goodbye to one of its icons today.
It’s been more than a week since the death of Black Sabbath’s Ozzy Osbourne at the age of 76.
Now the city has come together, as the music icon’s funeral procession makes its way through the city.
Thousands of people descended on the area to pay their respects and share their love for The Prince of Darkness.
Many have already expressed their sorrow and thousands of people have left tributes at the Black Sabbath Bridge.
Sharon Osbourne was in tears as she appeared out of one of the cars and laid flowers in tribute to her husband.
The city’s Lord Mayor, Councillor Zafar Iqbal, made the announcement about the event yesterday (Tuesday, July 29) and the procession is expected to be attended by Ozzy’s family.
The procession was accompanied by a live brass band performance by musicians from Bostin’ Brass, bringing a final musical moment to honour the extraordinary life and legacy of Ozzy Osbourne.
