Ozzy Osbourne was laid to rest in an emotional ceremony in his hometown on Wednesday - with his family and fans paying tribute to the Black Sabbath legend, who died last week. Thousands of people paid their respects to the band's frontman as his hearse made its way through Birmingham city center followed by his tearful wife and children.

The Osbourne family is expected to look at the sea of tributes when the cortège reaches Broad Street at around 1pm. Crowds of people, many wearing Ozzy Osbourne T-shirts and holding posters and other tributes, are already waiting behind metal barriers all along Broad Street.
