Mayor Zafar Iqbal emphasized the importance of this moment for the city and Osbourne’s supporter: “It was important for the city to support an appropriate, dignified honor before the private burial of the family. We know how much this moment will mean to its fans.” The Osbourne family itself bore the costs of the ceremonial ceremony, as IQBal explained.
Farewell to the Black Sabbath Bridge
The funeral procession led to the Black Sabbath Bridge – a symbolic place for the founder of the heavy metal. The coffin was driven through the streets in a black car with a purple cross and the “Ozzy” “Ozzy” lettering. The train was accompanied by the Bostin ‘Brass brass band, which caused goosebumps moments with classics such as “Iron Man” and “Crazy Train”.

Sharon Osbourne, wife and long -time manager, was deeply hit. Supported by her children Jack, Kelly and Aimee, she put down flowers in black paper. However, she showed the Peace sign with tears-a last greeting to the waiting fans. Many reacted moved, both on site and in the livestream of Sky News, where condolences and sympathy filled the chat. Comments like “It breaks my heart to see them like this” reflected the general mood.
The actual funeral act will take place in a small, private framework. The family deliberately holds details back. However, it is likely that Ozzy Osbourne will find his last rest in his hometown Birmingham-where he is worshiped as a “working-class hero” and always felt at home.
