A private funeral service will take place at a church in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire. Singer Yungblud, who had grown close to the Osbourne family, is to give a reading during the service.

Osbourne’s Black Sabbath bandmates, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, and Geezer Butler, will be present, along with Metallica’s James Hetfield. Sir Elton John is also expected to join the family at the church, too.

Ozzy is expected to be buried at the family home, with floral tributes appearing outside the property.

The day before, Ozzy's coffin was taken on his 'final tour' around Birmingham in an emotional procession. It had been a day of celebration rather than sadness for fans as they gathered to pay their respects to Ozzy yesterday. Thousands of fans lined Broad Street chanting 'Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy' as his procession arrived.

His family was supported by chants of ‘We love Ozzy’ and ‘We love the Osbournes’. Sharon, Kelly, Jack and Aimee were all dressed in black as they arrived for the procession, with Sharon and Kelly seen sobbing in truly heartbreaking scenes.

Ozzy's family, who admitted there were no words to describe their loss as they announced the tragic news, wanted to give fans one last chance topay their respects to the Changes star as a special procession headed down Broad Street in the city.

Flowers have been placed outside Ozzy's childhood home, close to Villa Park, since the singer’s death, while the owners of the house have put up a picture of Osbourne in the front bay window.

The Jaguar hearse and six Mercedes funeral cars, accompanied by police motorcycle riders and a police car, drove slowly along the street watched by a handful of fans and the current owner of the house.

The procession passed Black Sabbath bridge and bench, where floral tributes have been laid out for the rock icon. Ozzy was "desperate to come home" in recent years following his Parkinson's diagnosis, and he made it back to England before his death.

The poignant message above the statement announcing his death read "Birmingham, England July 22, 2025" - revealing that Ozzy made it back home, one last time.

His death came just over two weeks after he performed his farewell show at Villa Park, surrounded by other music greats. He performed a solo set before he was joined by Black Sabbath for one last time.
