Tens of thousands of people lined Birmingham's streets, chanting, clapping and throwing flowers as rock legend Ozzy Osbourne's coffin took a final journey through the city.
The procession took place a week after the Black Sabbath frontman's death at the age of 76 and just weeks after he performed his final concert at Villa Park.
Crowds shouted "Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy!" as his cortege made its way through the city, with a tearful Sharon Osbourne adding a pink rose to dozens of tributes left by fans on Black Sabbath Bridge.
Osbourne's devoted wife of 40 years was accompanied by family members including the couple's children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, who were seen gazing over the piles of flowers, gifts and messages and raising their hands in a peace sign while paying their respects.
Former X Factor judge Sharon, 72, was also spotted hugging the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Zafar Iqbal, after she arrived at the Black Sabbath bench.
Birmingham-born Ozzy, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, died on 22 July.
The ever growing sea of flowers and tributes since his death indicated crowds would be big and tens of thousands turned up, travelling hundreds of miles from across the country with some from as far away as the USA, Mexico and Spain. (BBC)
