See Freddie Mercury's Stamp Collection
 | The childhood stamp collection of the late Freddie Mercury is on display to the public at the Dominion Theatre in London which is the current venue for the musical We Will Rock You which features the music of Queen, the band fronted - until his untimely death in 1991 - by Freddie. |
Most of Freddie's personal possessions were burnt following his death in line with his family beliefs but the stamp collection survived and the British Postal Museum and Archive purchased it at public auction where the proceeds of the sale were donated to the Mercury Phoenix Trust.
The collection features stamps from many parts of the British Empire with particular interest being given to the stamps of Zanzibar which was Freddie Mercury's birthplace.
Freddie was born Farrokh Bulsara and this year, 2011, marks the 65th anniversary of his birth.
