The route included a stop at the Black Sabbath Bridge and the Black Sabbath bench, which has become a memorial since Ozzy’s passing on July 22.
During the procession, members of the Osbourne family laid flowers at the bench in honor of Ozzy. After the public procession, a private funeral service took place, closed to fans.
