The only thing i want to remember about that time is the love shown to Freddie from all the fans from around the world who travelled to London to pay there respects....

I was -4 years old, but Hell, I get sad when reading up on his last months/watching interviews about his last days, very sad especially since I won't be able to ever see them, with Mercury that is, live no matter how badly I want to see them.

I was 10 years old and understood very little English. Television meant 2 channels broadcast by the government. 2 channels because I was in Mumbai (Bombay back then). Rest of the country had just 1 channel.
To improve my English, my father insisted we watch "The World This Week" - an English language weekly round-up of news from around the world. It was on this program that I saw Freddie for the first time - footage from Wembley with the crown and all. And I also remember the host of the program saying that the Indian origin rockstar Freddie Mercury had died of AIDS. I did not feel anything at all, other than an interest in the fact that the guy was Indian and did not look Indian at all. I became a Queen fan much much later (in the new millenium).
