Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have marked their 40th wedding anniversary by penning heartfelt messages to each other on social media.
The celebrity pair, who share children Aimee, 38, Kelly, 37, and Jack, 36, wed in Hawaii in 1982.
Rocker Ozzy took to Instagram to share a photo of the couple's big day, captioning the post: "40 years ago today! Happy anniversary my love."
Within five hours the image had received a staggering 115,000 likes and 1,200 replies from well-wishers with one user commenting: "Happy anniversary to my favourite rock 'n' roll couple of all time."
Another added: "Huzzah Huzzah! A very Happy Anniversary Ozzy and dear Sharon. Peace, health, and blessings for many years to come."
A third responded: "Happy Anniversary you two, I hope you have a great anniversary filled with love, joy, and Rock and Roll!"
A fourth said: "Ozzy was smart to make his wedding on the fourth of July. Because not only does he not forget neither do his fans. Happy Anniversary Sharon and Oz."
Sharon also took to the social media platform, meanwhile, to pay her own tribute to her spouse.
"2022 is a special year for me," she said.
"It marks 40 years of marriage to my darling Ozzy. We first met when I was 18, over 52 years we have been friends, lovers, husband and wife, grandparents and soulmates. Always at each other's side. I love you Ozzy ~ Sharrrrrrron x."
Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy underwent major surgery in Los Angeles less than four weeks ago and promised to bounce back from the life-changing op by renewing his wedding vows.
A friend of the couple said: "Ozzy may have been waiting on getting his neck and back sorted after extended leg pain, which has left him unable to walk for long periods.
"But while that has been his hope, he always wants to treat Sharon to something special for their 40th.
"They renewed their vows in Vegas, but he hoped to fly them to Maui for a break to recall their big day.
"He hopes that his recovery will be short and nerve damage will be removed so that he can treat his wife.
"Ozzy may have gone through the mill in recent years, but his spirit and desire to show Sharon how much their love burns bright remains."
The couple previously renewed their vows in 2017 in Las Vegas after it emerged Ozzy had cheated on Sharon. At the time, he said: "For me, this was actually our real wedding day.
"This is the one that I will remember.
"Sharon and I have been through so much, and this honestly feels like a new beginning."
