Thousands of people flooded the streets of Birmingham this Wednesday to bid farewell to Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary "Prince of Darkness." The ceremony, filled with emotion and symbols, turned the musician's hometown into the epicenter of a historic tribute.
From the early hours of the day, Broad Street was filled with fans seeking a spot to witness the funeral procession. Many arrived with flowers, flags, t-jerseys, and even speakers playing Black Sabbath's anthems.
