The day has been filled with emotions
The family of Ozzy Osbourne have been seen grieving the late rock icon as they attend his funeral today (July 30).

Around 1 pm, Ozzy’s coffin was driven by a hearse. A live brass band, named Bostin’ Brass, played Black Sabbath’s song Iron Man while the street mourned over the rockstar.
The top of his car featured a purple cross made out of flowers. His name, Ozzy, inside the car was decorated with pink flowers, with a white hand-tied bunch sitting at the back of his coffin.
Wife Sharon Osbourne, 72, shared a car with her three children — Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack Osbourne, 39.
As they made their way out of the cars to look at the tributes laid out on the street, a heartbroken Sharon broke down in tears.

Sharon’s appearance at the funeral was the first time she had been seen since the announcement of Ozzy’s death. She tried to keep it together, but understandably wept during a terribly hard day for her.

Sharon’s son, Jack, and her youngest daughter, Kelly, also wore all-black for the occasion. As fragile Sharon walked up to view the tributes, Sharon was seen holding hands with Jack while Kelly helped her from behind.
Like Jack, Kelly Osbourne, who broke her silence last week about losing her “best friend”, opted for sunglasses, but still appeared visibly emotional.

Sharon supported by rarely-seen daughter Aimee
Sharon’s oldest daughter, Aimee, who is known for purposely stepping out of the spotlight, made a rare public appearance for the funeral.
She wore a hat featuring a netted veil, which covered half her face.

Aimee wore a blazer-style jacket, which featured a broach of a bat. The accessory is a nod to her father, who famously bit the head of a bat on stage.
