cortege

Osbourne's widow Sharon and children Aimee, Jack and Kelly visited floral tributes laid at Black Sabbath bridge following his death on 22 July in a cortege that weaved through the streets of his home city.

There will then be a private removal on Saturday morning, with the funeral cortege arriving at the chapel for a funeral Mass beginning at 12:00.

On Wednesday, the cortege drove past the stadium and his childhood home before heading into Birmingham city centre, where fans wearing Ozzy and Sabbath T-shirts and scarves lined Broad Street.

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.

Fans will be given a chance to pay their respects to heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne when his cortege travels through his home city of Birmingham.
