Tens of thousands of fans have gathered in Birmingham as the cortege carrying Ozzy Osbourne’s coffin moves through the city. The Black Sabbath frontman, who died eight days ago, is being honoured with a special tribute along Broad Street, culminating in a pause at Black Sabbath Bridge—now covered in flowers and messages. Fans dressed in black and leather lined the route, sharing memories and music. The event, privately funded by Osbourne’s family, follows his final performance at Villa Park’s "Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning" gig. Supporters like Matthew Feane-Jones even tattooed Ozzy’s signature after meeting him recently. (PC: BBC)
