Ozzy Osbourne's last ride will be where it all began. On Wednesday, July 30, there will be a public procession starting at 1 p.m. local time (8 a.m. EST), followed by a private funeral for close family and friends. Ozzy was married to Sharon Osbourne for 43 years and was the father to six children: Jessica, Louis, Aimee , Kelly, Jack, and Elliot .

Birmingham Airport chiefs say they are "closely following" the petition to rename the flight hub "Ozzy Osbourne International". Bosses have confirmed a permanent piece of artwork dedicated to the star will be erected at the base, which is east of the city.

Fans wishing to pay their respects will also be able to visit Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, where a book of condolence is open, as well as the Ozzy Osbourne Working Class Hero exhibition that his wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, opened in June.

On Wednesday, thousands of fans can pay their last respects to Ozzy Osbourne as the musician's funeral procession moves through his hometown.
