Ozzy Osbourne will be laid to rest in a private funeral for family and friends tomorrow, but before that, there will be a special procession through Birmingham

Ozzy Osbourne will be laid to rest in a private funeral in Birmingham tomorrow. The Black Sabbath star died last week after paramedics spent two hours trying to revive the rocker.

He had a number of health complications before his death and just weeks before, he had performed at his final ever concert at Villa Park. Ozzy had always wanted to come back to the UK to spend time with his family before his death.

A procession will move down Broad Street in central Birmingham tomorrow, starting at around 1pm. The cortege will be followed by his family and they will make their way to Black Sabbath bridge and bench.

Broad Street will be closed from 7am to allow for the procession to take place and will reopen soon after. Fans are expected to arrive in their thousands to pay tribute to the Black Sabbath star.

The Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Councillor Zafar Iqbal MBE, JP, 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.”

For those unable to attend in person, they will be able to watch the live feed of the Black Sabbath bridge, where floral tributes have been left for the rocker. The cortege will also be brought here for one final look at the tributes left by fans.

Elsewhere, those wishing to pay tribute to Ozzy, can head to the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery to sign a book of condolence. It sits alongside the Ozzy Osbourne Working Class Hero exhibition, which Sharon Osbourne opened last month.

There is also a Black Sabbath Mural on Navigation Street, Ozzy the Bull at New Street Station and The Station pub, which is where Black Sabbath first played all the way back in 1968.

Ozzy said he was “desperate to come home” to the UK and his native Birmingham but the move had been delayed by his battle with Parkinson’s and the various surgeries for a spinal injury that he had to undergo.

Back in May, he heartbreakingly said: “It’s time for me to spend some time with my grandkids. I don’t want to die in a hotel room somewhere. I want to spend the rest of my life with my family.”

This Morning TV presenter Lisa Snowdon recently shared a quick skincare routine for her ‘slightly more mature skin’ with her followers, and it includes this radiance-boosting cream

If Lisa Snowdon’s seriously glowing, youthful-looking skin is anything to go by, her skincare recommendations are definitely worth paying attention to. The 53 year old regularly shares her product recommendations with her social media followers – including this popular neck serum, which we’ve also tried – and we always take note.

The This Morning presenter recently shared a short video of her current skincare routine on Instagram, captioned, ‘Little quick skincare self care Sunday’. “Having slightly more mature skin I’m all about the moisture!” she continues. “I do change my products depending on what I need, at the minute it’s all about maximum hydration.”

One product in particular that she used especially stood out to us as it’s from one of our favourite brands: Medik8 Daily Radiance Vitamin C, a skin-brightening moisturiser that also contains SPF 30. Even better, it’s currently part of a huge Medik8 sale, down by 20% from £60 to £48.

After applying BIOEFFECT EGF Hydrating Essence, £79, and BIOEFFECT EGF Serum, £135, Lisa then applied this popular Medik8 face cream – which has nearly 2,000 postive reviews online – which she calls “lovely, velvety and easily absorbed, and gives you that SPF 30 coverage”.

This daily moisturiser contains 7% vitamin C, which not only helps to brighten the skin but also provides antioxidant protection; some experts say that vitamin C may also help to amplify the benefits of SPF in a formula, too.

Lisa’s skin is certainly left glowing at the end of this short post – and it’s a hit with Medik8 shoppers too.

“Absolutely love this, really gives you a glow, especially with the vit c serum underneath,” one person wrote. “People keep asking what foundation I use recently but the only thing I’ve changed is this so it’s definitely working.”

“This vitamin C cream has become a staple in my morning skincare routine,” another agreed. “It has a light, silky texture that melts into the skin and provides a healthy glow without feeling greasy. After a few weeks of daily use, my complexion looks noticeably brighter and more even-toned.”

“I love, love, love this cream. It absorbs into my skin quickly not leaving any sticky residue which I hate, then when I look in the mirror in the my skin looks smoother, almost as though it has relaxed with my lines not so obvious,” a third five star review reads. “Unfortunately as the stresses and strains of the day occur this effect starts to wear off but I know I have it to look forward to the next time I use it.”

A very small handful of people with oily skin, however, did find it a bit too glowy for them. “I love the idea of combining vitamin C with SPF in one step however, I think this would be good for someone who maybe doesn’t already have oily skin but for me it was too greasy,” one person commented. “I have bought the Medik8 vitamin C separately and I will stick with my usual sunscreen for now.” You can also read our review of this new Medik8 vitamin C serum here.

If you too are looking for a sunscreen aimed at oilier skin, you might like Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh Rice + B5 SPF50+, currently reduced to 12.40, or Eucerin Sun Face Oil Control Sun Gel-Cream Dry Touch SPF50+, now £14.25.

The decision to split up comes almost two years after the pair were last seen in public together, with TV duo Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley making the announcement.

Comedian Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley have announced their shock split after 13 years of marriage. However, the duo were seemingly living separate lives in the build-up to the surprise announcement.

In a bombshell statement, the TV duo revealed today (July 29) that they are no longer a couple. However, the pair hadn’t been photographed together in public in over a year prior to the announcement.

In 2023, the couple’s final photo was taken side by side. On September 18, 2023, they showed up at the May Fair Hotel to watch the Ballywalter premiere.

She shared a photo of the pair getting ready for the occasion and then sat in the crowd in a post from that time on social media. Later, Patrick was greeted on stage.

Cat captioned the Instagram post, “Magical evening last night at the @BallywalterFilm! Celebrating the talents of the outstanding cast and crew, including @PatricKielty &, @SeanaKerslake, and @PrasannaBanana, (+ @EdiBow… the most hospitable host) The movie #BallywalterFilm will be released on September 22! “!

A month later and Patrick made his final appearance on the This Morning star’s Instagram page. And fast forward almost two years and the couple is no more after seemingly fading out of Cat’s social media presence.

It comes in the wake of Cat’s late-month lack of Patrick’s father’s day messages. The parents have two children.

The couple had relocated their family from Los Angeles to London in 2023 prior to their announcement. After spending fifteen years in the US, it arrived.

They now stated in a joint statement to the PA news agency, “We have decided to end our marriage. We are now separated.” No other party is involved, at all.

We will continue to be loving parents to our children, so kindly ask that you respect our family’s privacy. No further comments will be made.

Patrick hosted RTE’s The Late Late Show while Cat was the face of ITV’s morning show. She had previously discussed the difficulties they had having to balance motherhood and presenting the show. She acknowledged that the “juggle” was real.

Cat missed Patrick’s mother’s funeral in Northern Ireland in March of this year. A grieving Patrick was seen walking her coffin through the streets with her in heartbreaking pictures.

As Mary’s closest friends and family gathered for a ceremony at the Dundrum Church of the Sacred Heart, hundreds of people had gathered on the streets.

At the time, a spokesperson told the Mirror that Cat had remained at home to care for their young sons Milo and James. They said: “Cat remained at home to be there for her two young children before and after school on this very sad day.”

In 2002, the couple met while they were the hosts of Fame Academy. Nine years later, in 2011, they made their first public outing as a couple. In a ceremony in Rome a year later, they tied the knot.

Cat explained how her husband initially wooed her during a 2020 appearance on Ireland’s The Late Late Show, which was then hosted by Ryan Tubridy: “We had been friends for a very, very long time. She said, “Since we did the TV show Fame Academy and everything else,”

On birthdays and Christmases, we would always call one another, or we would occasionally see one another, or whatever. Anyway, there was a night that my birthday was being celebrated on. I can’t even remember the day it was today! Between 30 and 30 Anyway, he called me and hung up on me.

The mum-of-two went on to say: “He said, ‘Oh, what are you doing for your birthday? I’m just ringing to say happy birthday.’ I said, ‘Oh, we’re going to the Beverly Hills Hotel. We’re just going to have a late brunch; it’s going to be very civilised. It’s a shame you’re not here, otherwise you could come’. And he was like, ‘Well, eh I’ll be there’.”“Now, bear in mind at this point, Ryan, he was at the Maghera Inn down the end of the road, and in Ireland, I think it was approximately three o’clock in the morning, so I wasn’t too sure! I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, sure you will. Sure you will, Charlie Big Bananas, sure you’ll be there! I’ll hold you a seat, how about that?”“Anyway, I didn’t know this, but he basically stumbled home from the pub, set an alarm clock, booked a flight to go back to Heathrow I think the first flight out.”
