London, July 25 — On a misty morning at Highgate Cemetery, a farewell unfolded that will remain etched in the hearts of those present.
Ozzy Osbourne, the immortal rock icon, was laid to rest in a deeply moving ceremony. Leading the quiet procession was Brian May, legendary guitarist of Queen, whose presence brought an unexpected yet profound grace to the moment.
There were no announcements or formal introductions. Just minutes before Ozzy’s casket was to be lowered, Brian May appeared silently, dressed in a long black coat, his silver hair falling gently to his shoulders. In his hands, he carried a worn acoustic guitar—weathered by time and full of history.
