So many FB posts of people in Birmingham, filming Ozzy's hearse go by.

It's grim. Go and pay your respects yes but filming?! When will you ever crack that video out again for entertainment??

Sorry - edited as forgot to say who's it was!!

I’m not sure I’d say morbid. More tasteless, inappropriate and disrespectful.

My aunt (not dead yet) recording the lowering the coffin of my aunt (dead) into the ground about 10 years ago...using her iPad.

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Never quite looked at her the same way after she did that.

It’s not morbid to film it but it is disrespectful. However, I doubt that Ozzy would have cared or minded if asked when alive (as long as his family weren’t upset by it).

Ozzy was considered rock royalty by many. And that's showbiz. It's the world we live in....

I think he got a great send of being so famous and it'd understandable the main media outlets were there buy not appropriate to take out phones- its a time of quiet reflection I think

The press are there and doing the same.

its grim … the media coverage is also grim … I don’t need to see a sobbing widow, to know death hurts
