Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi was at the unveiling of a plaque commemorating the life of legendary rock star Lemmy on 15 June 2017. Before the ceremony, BBC's Chris Hawkins sat down with Iommi and talked about Ian Fraser Kilmister, better known as Lemmy.

The memorial has been installed at Port Vale's ground just down the road from where Motörhead frontman Lemmy was born in Burslem. Vale Park was also chosen because Motörhead headlined an iconic gig, Heavy Metal Holocaust, there back in 1981, and their most famous hit, Ace Of Spades, has been adopted as an anthem by the club's fans.
A rock innovator and one of Tony's and Ozzy Osbourne's best friends, Lemmy's music was one of the foundations of the heavy metal genre. In all, he spent four decades in Motörhead. He passed away aged 70 on December 28, 2015, just two days after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer.
