Ozzy Osbourne funeral latest: Rock royalty pay respects to star as Sharon grants last wish

Ozzy Osbourne is being laid to rest in the sprawling grounds of his Buckinghamshire home today after a public procession through Broad Street in Birmingham yesterday (July 30). The Black Sabbath star died at the age of 76 earlier this month after a series of health battles that left him needing to sit on a gothic throne during the band's final reunion gig at Villa Park.

The Prince of Darkness wished to be buried at home - insisting he should not be cremated - and his wife Sharon Osbourne is helping to grant that final wish after breaking down in tears at the procession yesterday.
