The heartfelt tributes to Ozzy Osbourne are continuing in grand fashion following the Black Sabbath frontman’s death earlier this month.

On Wednesday, thousands of mourners lined the streets of Ozzy’s hometown of Birmingham to pay their respects to the heavy metal icon at his funeral procession, where his wife, Sharon Osbourne, and their three children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, were also in attendance.

An especially royal tribute came on the same day Ozzy was laid to rest, when The Band of the Coldstream Guards performed a rendition of Black Sabbath’s Paranoid at the Changing Of The Guard outside Buckingham Palace.

As captured in social media footage, the British Army musicians stood in formation as they played a brass band reimagining of the 1970 classic, which was met by cheers from onlookers.
