'I felt I had to pay tribute' - Devoted Black Sabbath fans spent hours at memorial meet-up to pay respects Ozzy Osbourne
Ozzy Osbourne fans have gathered in Birmingham to honour the heavy metal star - from floral tributes to catching a glimpse of the Ozzy tram.
A cortege, along with the Osbourne family, is expected to stop at the Black Sabbath bench, where thousands of tributes, balloons and flowers have been left.
The Black Sabbath frontman, who played a farewell gig in the city earlier this month, died at the age of 76 last Tuesday.
One fan, who had spent hours at the memorial meet-up in Victoria Square, paid tribute to the star by laying flowers at The Crown pub mural near New Street Station.
Ian Stone, from Birmingham, was heartbroken when he couldn't get tickets to see Ozzy's final show at Villa Park just weeks before his death - but says he did see Black Sabbath live in 2016 at Download Festival when they stood in for Motorhead as Lemmy had died the year before.
