You know, I designed the Queen crest.
I simply combined all the creatures
that represent our star signs – and
I don’t even believe in astrology.

– Freddie Mercury

Before Freddie Mercury of Queen was Freddie Mercury, he was Farrokh Bulsara, and one of his day jobs was working as a baggage handler at Heathrow Airport. So on September 5, 2018, which would have been Freddie Mercury’s 72nd birthday, some members of the current team of Heathrow baggage handlers staged a tribute to their former colleague.
