Ozzy Osbourne funeral: Sharon Osbourne seen for the first time
Ozzy’s coffin was driven by a hearse as the live brass band, Bostin’ Brass, played Black Sabbath’s song Iron Man while the street mourned the star.
The top of his car featured a purple cross made out of flowers. His name, Ozzy, inside the car was decorated with pink flowers with a white hand-tied bunch sat at the back of his coffin.
Mourners lining the streets shouted: “Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy, oi oi oi!” as his coffin passed by.
As the family made their way out of the cars behind to look at the beautiful tributes, a heartbroken Sharon was supported by her three children – Kelly, Aimee and Jack Osbourne – as she made her first public appearance since her husband’s death.
