A whole host of famous faces are set to attend Ozzy Osbourne's funeral in his home city of Birmingham on Wednesday.
The Black Sabbath rocker died aged 76 last Tuesday following a battle with Parkinson's, which was diagnosed in 2019.
The Prince of Darkness' famous pals can bid farewell to him as his hearse travels through central Birmingham in the early afternoon, before he's laid to rest in a private ceremony with his loved ones.
It's understood that streets planned for his funeral procession are being closed, with thousands of fans expected to turn up to pay their respects to the rock star and his family.

Ozzy's longtime friend Elton John is thought to be leading the A-listers who will honour the music legend, alongside a slew of rock royalty.
'His Sabbath bandmates, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler, will be there, along with James Hetfield from Metallica,' a source told The Sun.
The insider added: "Singer Yungblud, who became close with Ozzy in recent years, is going to give a reading.
'Elton John is also hoping to join the family at the church.'
Yungblud - real name Dominic Harrison - forged a close bond with Ozzy and his wife Sharon Osbourne after they appeared in the music video for his 2022 song, The Funeral.
The 27-year-old English singer even gave Ozzy a sterling silver cross necklace backstage during his final concert earlier this month.
Elton, meanwhile, has been friends with Ozzy for years. After his death, he called the rocker a 'dear friend' who 'secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods'.
Ozzy's wife Sharon and children Jack, 39, Kelly, 40, Aimee, 41, and Louis, 50, who is Ozzy's son from his first marriage to Thelma Riley, will travel in cars behind his hearse.
Birmingham Lord Mayor Zafar Iqbal said the city where Osbourne grew up will give him the 'farewell he deserves'.
He said: 'Ozzy was more than a music legend – he was a son of Birmingham.
'Having recently been awarded the Freedom of the City and following his celebrated appearance at the Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park earlier this month, it was important to the city that we support a fitting, dignified tribute ahead of a private family funeral.
'We know how much this moment will mean to his fans.
'We're proud to host it here with his loving family in the place where it all began, and we are grateful that they have generously offered to pay to enable this to happen and support the city is giving him the farewell he deserves.'
At 1pm today (Wednesday 30), a hearse carrying Ozzy's coffin will travel through central Birmingham, where road closures are already in place.
The procession will travel from Sheepscote Street and onto Broad Street at 1pm before stopping at the Black Sabbath bridge and bench, where thousands of people have already left flowers and tributes.
It's understood that Black Sabbath fans will be able to watch the procession from Broad Street, where a live brass band will join Osbourne's hearse and accompanying vehicles.
Those unable to watch the procession in person will be able to watch a live stream instead.
A video stream has been set up at the Black Sabbath Bench, and it's understood that you'll be able to find several live streams on social media and online, including Page Six's YouTube Channel.
On Thursday, there will be a closed service at a church in Gerrards Cross, Bucks.
