On July 30, 2025, thousands of fans lined Broad Street, beginning at the early afternoon, to participate in a public procession that honored their hometown hero . His hearse, a Jaguar, was accompanied by police motorcycles and a police car, passing landmarks including the Black Sabbath Bridge and Bench, where fans had left tributes. I liked how the proceeding marching band played Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath tunes. Made it somewhat joyous, as per his wishes. It’s sad to see how distressed the Osbourne family looked. Huge loss for all. Although, the crowds loudly chanting “Oye Ozzy” made me smile wide. Well done Birmingham!
After the public procession, a private funeral service for about 110 close family members and friends was held at Ozzy’s Buckinghamshire estate later that day. A standout feature was a floral wreath reading “Ozzy fucking Osbourne” and another tribute spelling “Ozzy” in fresh flowers . The service concluded with Ozzy being buried beside a lake on the property, per his wishes .
