A statue of Freddie Mercury in either Hyde Park or Kensington Gardens.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Freddie Mercury was one of this country's greatest singer songwriters, famed for his extraordinary showmanship, a truly GREAT BRITAIN. His former home has become a shrine for fans from all over the world, however the time has come for a public memorial, a statue, for his fans to enjoy together.
Freddie Mercury's house is in a small residential street & will always be a part of his story, however it's not possible for the constant stream of fans & his former neighbours to both have what they want. The fans deserve an appropriate shrine, to celebrate his life. Neighbours deserve a peaceful home life, as Freddie would have wanted for them.
Loyal subjects, let's make this happen, his legacy deserves to be celebrated by his many fans & London gains a new, exciting attraction.
