Freddie died in the beautiful Swiss city of Montreux on the banks of Lake Geneva. I am lucky enough to have friends who live in the hills overlooking Montreux. It's my 'Easy Jet' destination of choice.
Freddie is remembered in Montreux with a beautiful bronze statue which looks out across the lake, punching the air - still performing.
Whenever I visit Montreux, I always go and give him a little rub - he's usually covered with flowers and people's memories.
If you do nothing else today then watch this and remember Freddie - the man who inspired a whole generation of cross dressers!
My husband is the blond!
It's strange but it's true
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free baby
Oh how I want to be free
Oh how I want to break free
