Sharon Osbourne greeted mourners at Ozzy Osbourne's funeral procession while wearing a touching tribute to her late husband.
The Black Sabbath frontman, who died aged 76 on July 22, was remembered in a heartfelt public funeral procession led by his wife Sharon and children Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis.
Ozzy took one final journey through his hometown of Birmingham, making stops at his beloved Villa Park, childhood home, and the Black Sabbath bridge.
As the hearse passed through Aston, the neighborhood where Ozzy grew up, the crowd erupted with chants of “Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy!”
Roses were tossed into the street while a brass band played Black Sabbath classics like Iron Man, turning Birmingham’s city center into a public shrine to a hometown hero.
At the front of it all was Sharon Osbourne, 72, standing with visible emotion. Around her neck hung a gold ring studded with diamonds — a personal tribute believed to be Ozzy’s wedding band, per the Daily Mail.
He’d worn it regularly since their 2017 vow renewal, 35 years after they first married.
Sharon’s silent gesture was one of many that day.
At one point, she raised both hands to flash a double peace sign — a symbol long associated with her husband, who advocated for peace.
Their children each paid tribute in their own way, weaving Ozzy’s spirit into every detail. Kelly, 40, donned his trademark round sunglasses.
Jack, 39, pinned a small silver cross to his tie — echoing the pendant Ozzy wore for decades.
Louis, Ozzy’s son from his first marriage to Thelma Riley, wore a skull-and-crossbones tie in a nod to his dad’s metal persona.
And Aimee Osbourne, the family’s most private member, made a rare public appearance.
Known for avoiding the spotlight — and for famously opting out of MTV’s The Osbournes — Aimee joined her siblings to honor their father.
On her blazer was a small, bat-shaped brooch: a callback to one of the most infamous moments in rock history, where Ozzy bit the head off a real bat, thinking it was fake.
Lord Mayor Zafar Iqbal, who embraced Sharon during the procession, spoke to the star’s deep connection with Birmingham: “I got to know him in the last few weeks when we gave him the freedom of the city and he was just so humble, so down to earth. He was a working class hero.
“I couldn't tell he was a rock star, he was just an ordinary guy, so caring. He had working class roots and he loved his fans, he loved his city, he always promoted Birmingham wherever he went, he was proud to have been born in Aston.
“His slogan was 'Birmingham Forever' and that makes me such a proud citizen. It was a last hurrah for him today.”
The public event was coordinated by Birmingham City Council and funded by the Osbourne family.
“Ozzy was more than a music legend – he was a son of Birmingham,” Iqbal added, per LBC. “We know how much this moment will mean to his fans. We’re proud to host it here with his loving family in the place where it all began.”
