While Black Sabbath fans line the streets of Birmingham to give Ozzy Osbourne a fitting final farewell after his death at the age of 76, others are bedding down to watch the event livestreamed from home. Mourners are also able to leave their live tributes on our map below, sending a message to his widow Sharon Osbourne and their children - Kelly, Jack and Aimee, as well as Louis from Ozzy's first marriage.
His oldest daughter Jessica, and adopted son Elliot Kingsley, from Ozzy's first marriage to Thelma Riley, were left out of the official family statement, released last week. Ozzy was also a grandfather to 10 grandchildren.
However, Ozzy's "forgotten" kids paid their own tribute to their father, with Jessica resharing a tribute to her Instagram account, adding her dad's song Crazy Train with the caption: "RIP Ozzy."
Today (July 30), a public procession led by a brass band will wind through Broad Street in Birmingham to the Black Sabbath Bridge, with mourners already lining the streets. For the latest updates, keep checking the Daily Express's live blog.
The local brass band Bostin Brass will provide the music for the procession, with members of Black Sabbath and musician Yungblud expected to participate, along with Elton John.
However many have traveled from across the world to pay their respects in person, including Canadian R&B star Drake, who was passing through the city on tour. Back In June, Ozzy and Black Sabbath received the Freedom of the City ahead of their Back to the Beginning gig, a star-studded event honouring Osbourne.
