A Very Sad Day for his Fans

[@PeteDavidson-yl3ps]

I’m not Materialistic so owning anything of Freddie’s would be a tough one, on one hand these are Very Personal items which he shared with NO Public as in Fans, it’s only a GOD Send that Drones were not available when he home at Garden Lodge, the wankers invading his Private Life, buzzing his Garden forcing him to draw his curtains…just awful, which brings me to having “ won “ the auction for an item/s, to sit staring at it, or perhaps Wine Glasses, Plates which he and Mary ate from I just think I’d be guilty of Morbid Curiosity as my thoughts are I don’t own or have in my possession anything from any friend or family member passed that wasn’t discussed or agreed upon while they were alive between us, some people have zero issues with wearing a dead friends boots or jacket, I met Freddie once and although it might seem that meeting him would give me a Pass Card or Green Light to own his personal items it was the complete opposite. Although acquiring a dear friends Novel Collection would give me a closer insight as to perhaps their inner thoughts. To each their own, when my brother passed I more or less destroyed everything he left me I couldn’t have it fill a spare room or be part of my items the memories would have been too strong…..sell it all? I didn’t need the money, place it all in storage? I’d then have what to do with it all thoughts in the back of my brain.
Mary, should in my and other Queen Fans opinions somehow had everything placed in a Museum, or as one told me turning Garden Lodge into a Graceland would have been the Ultimate Tribute to Freddie and his Millions of FANS…..
