Sharon Osbourne's father gets plaque

Don Arden manager Black Sabbath and father Sharon Osbourne has been honoured with a central London plaque.

As previously reported Don Arden passed away aged 81 on July 21 following a battle with Alzheimer's Disease.

Small Faces drummer Kenney Jones unveiled the plaque today (September 8) at the site of the Carnaby Street office where Arden signed the band in 1965.

Fans raised £400 to pay for the plaque after approval from Westminster City Council.

Saturday's ceremony coincided with band's annual convention, reports BBC.
