Freddie Mercury's Funeral - Never Before Seen or Heard Story

Hi everyone :) I wanted to share my friend Allan's incredible story, how he came to be with Freddie at his final moment on this planet.

very interesting, thank you. Could somebody translate it or add some subtitle please? the interviewed has a difficult to understand accent.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Very emotional story, thanks for sharing!

thanks! very moving

I actually found the whole story rather distasteful. The press hounds rightfully get slagged off for sticking their noses where they didn't belong, but apparently if you've seen Queen play live once that earns you the right to slip into his funeral on a whim "to see if someone stops you". Being confronted with his family then suddenly made him realise he had no business being there. More appetite for sensation than love for Freddie I'd say. .

Respectless.

I thought it was creepy as fuck....
Initially thought it was a piss take, as everyone seems to coming out with bullshit at the minute. I found the whole thing weird

I was at his house the morning they announced his death, I layed flowers spent maybe 30 mins outside just watching people and feeling a deep sense of loss, but I would never have tried to get into the funeral.... I can understand waiting outside to see the events, to pay respects on the roadside as the cars go past maybe but to walk into a private funeral and then inside at the moment the family are saying final goodbye is pretty shitty frankly

My God.

I don't approve of what he did, but the section where he described how his parents are mourning is both eerie and depressing.

Really gross. It’s so incredibly wrong to intrude in such a private and personal moment of grief, he should be ashamed of himself.

It's a strange story and I can imagine it's good to get it off his chest. Yes, it's a bit wrong, but I've been caught up in stuff like that and the adrenaline probably replaced any useful decision making. He saw sense in the end.

I can't believe he went so far before realising what he did was beyond inappropriate. I suppose, in the emotion of the day, I can understand why someone may have gotten out of their car when they realised they were close by. It's hard for me to comprehend what he then did, but he did it. However I can't understand why he tells the story without more regret for what he did. It's so intrusive that it's just really sad. I'm sure many of us have lost people close to us. Imagine some stranger turning up at the funeral of your loved one and just keeping walking until they were in the most private space there was, just with you and the loved one you had just lost. I can't think of much that'd be more wrong. And it is also dismal to think of the press being there too of course.
