King Charles’ guards honored the late Ozzy Osbourne with a rendition of Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid.”

The Band of the Coldstream Guards performed the English heavy metal band’s first hit single during a Changing of the Guard ceremony outside Buckingham Palace. Footage was shared on TikTok by a fan.

In the comments section of the video, a TikTok user described the tribute, played for about three minutes for the crowd, as “Britishness at its best.”

“This is awesome. Proudest I’ve felt of this country for about 15 years,” wrote another fan.

The guards, dressed in red tunics and towering bearskin hats, also honored Ozzy during his funeral procession in Birmingham, England.

Ozzy and King Charles, both aged 76, had maintained a friendship.

Paranoid is Black Sabbath’s second studio album, released in 1970. It’s widely regarded as a landmark album in the heavy metal genre and features several of the band’s signature songs.
