Ozzy Osbourne has admitted that he has absolutely no idea what the Queen said to him when he met her at the Golden Jubilee celebrations earlier this year.

Ozzy can be a bit shaky - as followers of his cult MTV fly on the wall documentary can verify, and it all proved too much when meeting the Queen in the Buckingham Palace line up. Maybe it was down to playing ’Paranoid’ for her.
