@metrouk: Sharon Osbourne, wife of the late Ozzy Osbourne, left flowers in tribute to her late husband during a funeral cortège in the music star's home city of Birmingham. Flanked by her children Jack and Kelly, Sharon was visibly emotional as she laid the floral tribute at a bench and bridge named after Black Sabbath, the band with whom Osbourne pioneered the heavy metal genre in the late 1960s. Osbourne died 17 days after enthralling thousands of adoring fans in an emotional farewell gig in Birmingham featuring dozens of other performances including by Metallica, Guns N' Roses and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler in a day-long heavy metal extravaganza. #birmingham #ozzyosbourne #blacksabbath #worldnews
