Fans lined the streets en masse in Birmingham, England today (July 30) to say goodbye to Ozzy Osbourne.
As previously reported, the funeral procession for the Prince of Darkness traveled through his hometown of Birmingham via Broad Street. The procession traveled over the Black Sabbath Bridge and past the Black Sabbath bench, which has served as a memorial site since Osbourne's July 22 passing. During the procession, a stop was made at the Black Sabbath bench, where The Osbournes laid flowers in honor of Ozzy.
Following the procession, a private funeral was held. While the service was closed to the public, fans were encouraged to sign a condolences book located at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, which is hosting an exhibit on Osbourne.
