Ozzy Osbourne may have swapped Birmingham's streets for the bright lights of global fame but it felt like to fans that the Prince of Darkness never strayed from his roots. Thousands of fans gathered on Wednesday in Birmingham to pay their respects at his funeral procession as his coffin took a final journey through the city.

Sharon and Kelly Osbourne — who starred alongside Ozzy in the family's genre-defining reality show — were in tears as they lay flowers at the Black Sabbath Bridge in Birmingham, England.
