Birmingham has marked the first anniversary of Ozzy Osbourne's death with a day of tribute, music and celebration dubbed "Ozzy Day", honouring one of the city's most famous sons. Fans dressed in black gathered at landmarks linked to the Black Sabbath frontman, including a mechanical bull statue outside New Street station and a memorial bench, reflecting the deep affection Birmingham holds for the heavy metal icon a year after his passing.

Fans travelled from across the UK and abroad, including a group from Monterrey, Mexico, and others from Nottingham and Hull, to take part in the commemorations. Bostin Brass, who performed at Osbourne's funeral procession, played on the streets throughout the day, while the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra staged a dedicated performance in the Bullring. Widow Sharon Osbourne urged fans to remember him by playing his music "really loud", and Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi paid tribute on social media, saying he still finds it hard to believe Osbourne is gone.
