In the UK Wednesday, thousands paid tribute to the late heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne .

A band performing the Black Sabbath Classic “Iron Man” led a funeral procession through Osbourne’s hometown of Birmingham. His family viewed the flowers and other tributes at a bridge named in the band’s honor.

Osbourne’s wife of 43 years, Sharon, was visibly shaken, as fans showed their support. The television personality waved the peace sign back at fans. Known to many as "The Prince Of Darkness", Ozzy Osbourne died last week at the age of 76.
