A memorial garden dedicated to the life of Freddie Mercury is to be officially opened in west London later.

Queen’s lead guitarist, Sir Brian May, and the late singer’s sister, Kashmira Bulsara, will open the green space in Feltham, which has been created as part of a local regeneration plan.

The space, in Feltham Green, includes a Green Eco Cabin, which will provide a hub for the local community.

Shantanu Rajawat, leader of Hounslow Council, said: “The Freddie Mercury Memorial Garden is a fitting tribute to one of Feltham’s most iconic residents, and the Eco Cabin shows how we can deliver sustainable, community-led regeneration that leaves a real legacy.”
