An official book of condolence for Ozzy is at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, which opened until 19:00 BST today to allow more fans to pay their respects.

This photo taken shows the queue stretching across the art gallery and out to the stairs.

Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery said: "We are honoured to be hosting the civic book of condolence for Ozzy Osbourne.

"Earlier, leaders from Birmingham City Council, the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, and the Mayor of the West Midlands stood in line with co-CEO of Birmingham Museums Trust Sara Wajid to sign the book."

As well as being able to sign the book, visitors had the option to leave a voice note of condolence via a telephone situated in the museum.

When Dwayne heard the news of Ozzy's death, he knew he needed to pay his respects in the heavy metal legend's hometown.

Except Dwayne lives in Los Angeles.

But that did not deter him and he caught a flight to Birmingham today.

"I had about an hour of 'should I or shouldn't I?'" he laughed.

"It's been 100% worth it. You only live once and if you have the opportunity to do something like this and to pay your respects to someone who literally changed music and changed your life and changed the life of people you care about - you should do it."

Lena and Matthew Joyce met because of a love of Black Sabbath and even had a heavy metal-themed wedding.

The pair met in Birmingham in July 2023 after Lena visited from Germany to see the home of heavy metal.

They met at a local live music venue, when Mr Joyce's future wife walked in wearing a Black Sabbath T-shirt.

And when it came to proposing, Mr Joyce popped the question on the Black Sabbath bench in the city.

"When she said 'yes', there was a flash of lightning in the sky. We say it's a good omen," he said.

Paying tribute on Wednesday, Matthew said: "You are a true legend and the pride of Birmingham.

"I never would have met my beautiful wife Lena if it were not for you and Sabbath. Just going to continue to celebrate you and Sabbath forever."

The pair added: "Rock in peace, Ozzy."

Birmingham City Council will definitely honour Ozzy Osbourne, the Lord Mayor said.

Zafar Iqbal said: "Myself and the council will probably have a meeting around this subject and we will decide at a later date what we're going to be doing.

"I'm sure there's definitely going to be something, I'm not sure what that's going to be looking like at the moment but we will definitely do something."

Osbourne was a "proud Brummie" who put the city "on the world map", he said.

"For me, personally, to meet him was the greatest honour. [He was a] very humble guy, very down-to-earth guy.

"He spent, I think, a couple of hours in the council house just talking about Aston, Aston Villa Football Club and the people of Birmingham."

Ozzy the mechanical bull was built for Birmingham's Commonwealth Games and later moved to the city's New Street station, in a ceremony attended by Ozzy's family.Today, he stood by as the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra performed a tribute to the Black Sabbath front man as shoppers and passengers looked on.

The orchestra's already-planned gig at the station included an excerpt from Black Sabbath - The Ballet.

One local Ozzy fan told BBC Midlands Today: "[He's] one of the biggest things to come out of Birmingham ever - you have Ozzy Osbourne, you have Cadbury's.

"And it's inspiring for kids like me who come from nothing.

"Ozzy let us all dream big and show you what can happen if you just put a bit of work in."

Glenda Barrett went to the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery to sign the book of condolences this morning.

She said: "I signed the book and said what I felt, he was one of the most amazing men and artists."You expect them to live forever but hopefully he will."

Kiss star Gene Simmons has told fans of Ozzy Osbourne to "go into your room, shut the door and put on some Black Sabbath".

The musician paid tribute to his good friend on BBC Breakfast, recalling the first time they met in 1974.

He said: "There was never an Ozzy until Ozzy came along, and there never will be another Ozzy. In science they call it a singularity. He's just a unique, lovable person."

He added: "I'll leave with one other point, and I thought about this all day. You know, there are kings and there are queens and politicians and leaders of country and CEOs, people, in high positions in government.

"Not everybody is loved. Ozzy is universally beloved. He's loved. The fans love him, everybody. He's beloved. Politicians, kings and queens, not so much.

"I don't know what there is to say, but I would recommend all the fans, turn off your TV sets, shut down your cell phones, go into your room, shut the door and put on some Black Sabbath."

Stephen Ayers went to sign the book of condolence in Birmingham and told the BBC that his great aunt and uncle used to babysit for Ozzy Osbourne, looking after his children in the 1970s.

"He was just a normal guy, a smashing bloke really," he said.

Mr Ayers said he had tears in his eyes when he found out the news of his death.

Neville and Rose also queued to sign the book of condolence. Neville had worked security at one of Black Sabbath's gigs in 1970.

Louise from Kidderminster told Nicky Campbell on BBC Radio 5 Live that she met Ozzy and attended a private gig he held back in summer 2010 - all thanks to a queue outside HMV.

Her and a friend queued up to get a wristband, which guaranteed meeting Ozzy and going to a private concert he was hosting at Birmingham's town hall that evening.

Speaking about meeting him, Louise said: "I remember being really emotional because I loved him so much and I remember saying it's a privilege to meet you in your hometown.

"He signed my CD and all I remember is he smelled really nice, which you don't expect of a rock god. It was kind of like toothpaste, minty, and aftershave. But he was lovely."

She said the gig was incredible and that she even made eye contact with Sharon Osbourne, who blew her a kiss.

"It was probably the best day of my life, over my wedding," she laughed.

"[Black Sabbath] got me through my teen years, I just love the music. My old cat was called Ozzy.

"It's just a really emotional day. They meant so much to me."

"They loved this place, they're from this place, they've never stopped speaking about this place.

"And I think that's why they meant so much to people. I think that's why what they've done is so meaningful."

West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker spoke to Ozzy Osbourne when Black Sabbath were recently given the Freedom of the City.

"It just meant so much to them, for these folks that grew up here and have conquered the world ... to see how much that recognition meant to them - it was really really visible and they were incredibly moved by it," he said.

The Crown pub on Station Street marks the spot where Black Sabbath played its first gig.

It was built in 1881 and shut in 2014 after it was bought by a Japanese development company, and there have been increasing calls for it to be saved as a heritage site.

"I certainly think as a bare minimum we have to make the most of that fantastic landmark The Crown."

He added: "I'll be really really pleased if we can find a way to use The Crown as both a tribute and recognition of not just Ozzy and Black Sabbath but the music that was founded there.

"It's more than a landmark, it's part of our heritage."

Fans have been calling in to BBC Radio 5 Live to pay their respects and tell their stories about Ozzy.

David from Leeds said he was on a family holiday in Las Vegas back in 2005 or 2006, where the family visited the Kodak Theatre.

Ozzy and his children were being hounded by reporters but David piped up with "Alright Ozzy" and says the heavy metal legend made a beeline to talk to him, saying: "Alright man, you don't sound like you're from here."

He then gave David's mum a hug.

"She passed away a few months ago so he's gone up there to give her another hug, obviously," he said.

"It just shows what a nice person he was - he heard a voice that was English and came straight over.

"He was just a really nice guy who had time for people."

A 20-year-old student who designed a medal for Black Sabbath has said it was "surreal" to be invited to their final concert.

Toby Williams from Cleobury Mortimer in Shropshire won a competition to design a medal for Black Sabbath, marking the band being awarded the freedom of the city of Birmingham earlier this month.

His design was chosen in a contest organised by Birmingham City University's jewellery school.

The jewellery student not only got to present his design to the band but was also invited by Sharon Osbourne to their final concert, given backstage passes, and ended up at their after-show party.

Speaking after Ozzy's death, Mr Williams told the BBC: "Obviously what's happened is sad. He really will be missed, but what a way to do it - £140m for charity is amazing.

"[At the last show] he was commanding the audience and he performed brilliantly.

"Seeing these A-class rock legends at that ceremony and at the gig worshiping Ozzy for the legend that he is, it really drums in how surreal it was and how unique and amazing an opportunity it was to shake his hand and tell him how much of an honour it was to design the medals for him."

To thank Sharon Osbourne for inviting him to the concert and after party, Mr Williams, knowing that Sharon loved pearls, made her a pearl necklace which both her and her eldest daughter Aimee complimented.

Commenting on meeting Black Sabbath at the ceremony, Mr Williams said: "Them all being true Brummies, they're one of the most humble group of people I've ever met. They really were really nice."

Christine Turner from Hodge Hill has suggested Aston Villa's North Stand be renamed in honour of the late musician.

“There is talk on Aston Villa groups about why don’t they name the North Stand when it’s done the Osbourne Stand or the Sabbath Stand," she said.

“I think the Osbourne Stand would be a nice tribute. It’s just so sad.”

Donington Park is regarded by many as the spiritual home of metal, having hosted the Monsters of Rock and the Download festivals over many decades.

It's therefore unsurprising that Ozzy Osbourne lit up the stage at the Leicestershire venue several times during his illustrious career - including taking Ozzfest there in 2002.

This feature takes a look back through his many appearances at Donington Park over the years.

Alison Hammond has said she feels "so saddened" after she accidentally missed the chance to see Ozzy Osbourne's farewell concert in person.

While presenting on ITV's This Morning, she said: "I had a message from (his son) Jack saying, 'Come to the concert'. I didn't see the message.

"It said: 'My mum wants to extend this invitation'.

"I didn't see the message, and literally, I looked at it today and I missed it. I feel so, so bad because I could have gone to see him, and I'm so saddened.

"But I did watch the concert, and I thought it was unbelievable."

IT trainer Sue Williams has revealed how Ozzy Osbourne once visited her house to cheer up a student with cerebral palsy who was desperate to meet the legendary singer.

Ms Williams, from Eccleshall in Staffordshire, managed to arrange the meeting in 1983 while the Black Sabbath frontman, after she noticed one of her students, Don, was "really, really sad".

While talking to him, she learned one of his ambitions was to meet Osbourne.

She knew the previous owner of Osbourne's house and tried the number she still had for the address, where she got through to his roadie.

On the day of the visit, Mrs Williams said she and Don were sitting in her lounge when they saw two people walking up the drive – one was Osbourne, wearing a purple jumpsuit and at the time he had short blonde hair.

"He was absolutely brilliant," she said. "He brought Don gifts, he took the t-shirt off his back and gave it to him and he took photographs with him.

"He was just an absolute delight."

She said Osbourne stayed for two to three hours, during which he urged Don never to take drugs and asked if there was any scotch when he was offered tea or coffee.

Mrs Williams said they had a "wonderful" afternoon with him and described Osbourne as a "perfect, perfect gentleman".

"Don was beside himself with happiness, he couldn't believe it," she added.

"It absolutely made his life."

Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning raised money for a few charities.

Acorns Hospice was one of the beneficiaries and CEO Trevor Johnson said it was important that Osbourne had given a voice to the children and families who often felt unheard.

“That showed what he was about and showed the impact that he's had right across the world from here in the West Midlands and I think it was a fitting end to an extraordinary life."

He added that it was still too early to confirm exactly how much money had been raised.

“I know there's an awful lot of numbers being bandied around on social media, and I see numbers that are just extraordinary being banded around, but the honest answer is, right now, we don't know.

“It takes a long time to account for all of these things, work out all of the costs and everything else. So we've just been talking with the family, who have been amazing in terms of support."

You might have seen Rosie Lynall AKA NailsBab on your socials.

She was back stage at the Back to the Beginning concert painting some of the Osbournes' nails.

"Meeting the Osbourne family was surreal," she told BBC Newsbeat.

"I said hello to [Ozzy]. I was at the bar and he was getting wheeled in. I've never been starstruck before but I did when I saw him because he's an icon.

"He's so special and he's done so much for music and the city. I've always thought he was one of the funniest people in the world."

Rosie says it was one of the best days of her life.

"To be able to work there and be a little part of something so big and important for not only music but Birmingham as well," she says.

"To see all these rock and metal legends that were just floating around - it was incredible.

"I was more devastated than I thought I would be. It's devastating for his family and his friends and all the fans."
