The Black Sabbath frontman’s hearse will make its way down Broad Street on Wednesday (30 July), ahead of a private funeral attended by close family and friends, including his wife Sharon.

Dressed in full Black Sabbath clothing, fans Karen and Steve Brookhouse, aged 54 and 65, travelled to Birmingham to pay their respects to the man who has been “the soundtrack of their lives”.

“There will never be another Ozzy,” Karen said. “Ozzy’s music has been there through the good times and the bad.”
