Ozzy Osbourne fans spot daughter Kelly wearing item belonging to her father as the family lay him to rest

Kelly Osbourne was seen donning one of her father's signature accessories for his funeral procession in Birmingham today

A group of mourners that attended the funeral service held for Ozzy Osbourne in Birmingham today noticed his daughter Kelly paying tribute to the Black Sabbath legend in her own special way.

Ozzy sadly passed away last week (22 July) at the age of 76, with his loved ones releasing an emotional statement at the time, confirming he'd died 'surrounded by love'.

Joined by her family - including her visibly heartbroken mother, music manager and TV personality Sharon, 72 - Kelly arrived at the procession today (30 Jul), which had been attended by thousands of Ozzy's fans.

The father-of-six grew up in Aston, Birmingham, and after finding fame as a rock n' roll star in the late 70s and early 80s, he and Sharon moved to the States, where they raised their three children, Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39.

Harrowing images from today's service show Sharon holding onto the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Zafar Iqbal, as she broke down in tears at the outpouring of love shown to her late husband.

Her children were also seen close to her side, often appearing to be holding her up, with each of them carrying a pink flower wrapped in black paper as they watched their father's coffin be carried by in a hearse.

They each went on to add their gifts to an already huge display of tributes, which had been placed on the famous Black Sabbath bridge.

Many spectators' eyes were also drawn to mother-of-one Kelly, who appeared to be wearing a pair of sunglasses that had once been owned by her rock star dad.

According to NPR, the specs had become a staple part of Ozzy's get-up in the mid-90s, after which he was rarely spotted without them.

The shape of the glasses was said to have been a nod to late musician John Lennon.

Clocking onto the sweet tribute, one fan of the famous family asked on Twitter: "Did anybody else notice that Kelly was wearing Ozzy's blue glasses?"

Another simply pointed out on Reddit: "His glasses."

The gesture comes after Kelly shared her first social media post since her father's passing.

On 25 Jul, she wrote a message on Instagram, which read: "I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had [heartbroken emoji]."

The line quotes lyrics from Black Sabbath's 1972 number, 'Changes' - a track which Ozzy and Kelly re-released as a duet back in 2003.
