Sharon and Kelly Osbourne — who starred alongside Ozzy in the family's genre-defining reality show — were in tears as they lay flowers at the Black Sabbath Bridge in Birmingham, England.

Tens of thousands of people lined the streets of the central England city where Black Sabbath was formed to catch a glimpse of the heavy metal icon’s hearse.
