Sharon Osbourne and her three kids — Aimee, Jack and Kelly — put on a united front at Ozzy Osbourne’s funeral procession in Birmingham, England, on Wednesday.
The frail mom of three, 72, and her kids, including her stepson Louis, got out of a black vehicle and walked over to a pile of flowers and cards that fans left along the roads.
There, she placed a pink flower that was wrapped in black paper among the other fans’ tributes.
Sharon, who wore a black floor-length dress, became overtaken with emotions as she cried while Kelly and Jack held onto her arms to help hold her up.
The family then turned to the screaming crowd and held up peace signs before walking back to their vehicles and continuing the procession.
The Black Sabbath frontman’s family planned for him a “small, private funeral” following his tragic death on July 22, an insider told People Tuesday.
“Ozzy would never want a mope-fest,” the source shared.
There was also a public procession to honor Ozzy in Birmingham.
“It was important to the city that we support a fitting, dignified tribute ahead of a private family funeral,” Zafar Iqbal, the city’s lord mayor, said in a statement Monday.
The musician’s hearse traveled down Broad Street with his family following in vehicles.
Ozzy’s funeral plans respected his wishes to have a “celebration, not a mope-fest.”
“I honestly don’t care what they play at my funeral; they can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle and We Are the Diddymen if it makes ’em happy,” he shared in a 2011 Times column.
“I’d also like some pranks: maybe the sound of knocking inside the coffin; or a video of me asking my doctor for a second opinion on his diagnosis of ‘death,’” the Prince of Darkness quipped.
“There’ll be no harping on the bad times.”
Ozzy’s family announced his passing via a statement obtained by Page Six last week.
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love,” they wrote.
Over the years, the songwriter has suffered from Parkinson’s disease and other health issues.
