Ozzy Osbourne remembered in Birmingham

Earlier this week, thousands of fans lined the streets of Birmingham as Ozzy’s coffin was carried through the city.

The late star’s widow, Sharon, as well as children – Aimee, Kelly, Jack – and Louis, his son from his first marriage, were also seen emotionally thanking the crowds for coming.

At one point, the family stepped out of their people carriers and went to look at the floral tributes that had been left for the star. Sharon then left her husband a tribute of her own, a white rose wrapped in black tissue paper. Kelly also paid tribute to her dad. She wore his iconic purple sunglasses during the procession.
