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.

Tens of thousands of people lined the streets of the central England city where Black Sabbath was formed to catch a glimpse of the heavy metal icon’s hearse.

Ozzy Osbourne, who was born in Marston Green, a suburb of Birmingham, and who died at the age of 76, was one of the city's most celebrated cultural icons. He and Sharon Osbourne were married for 43 years before his death.
