Birmingham Procession Details
His fans will have a chance to pay their last respects during a cortege through his hometown, Birmingham. The legendary Black Sabbath singer’s body will be brought back on Wednesday, July 30, for a procession along Broad Street, starting at 1 PM BST.
The Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Zafar Iqbal, said, “We’re going to pay our last respects and homage to one of the greatest living legends of Birmingham.”
