Ozzy Osbourne: Fans Gather in Birmingham for Farewell Procession

Thousands of fans gathered in Birmingham to bid farewell to Ozzy Osbourne. The procession carrying Osbourne's remains traveled through the city streets, passing Broad Street and the 'Black Sabbath Bridge,' where fans left flowers and messages.

The city's mayor, Zafar Iqbal, described Ozzy Osbourne as a 'child of Birmingham' and emphasized his contribution to the city's global recognition. Fans queued to sign the book of condolences. The burial will be private, while the procession was accompanied by the local brass band Bostin' Brass and Yungblud.

The windows of 'The Crown' pub, where Black Sabbath made their first appearance, were covered with photos of the band. There was a live broadcast of the procession, but demand was so high that there were difficulties in monitoring it.
