"One of Freddie Mercury's oldest friends is to auction an intimate collection of 1,500 items belonging to the late Queen star, including some of his handwritten lyrics and riotous stage costumes.

The singer built up the collection over 30 years and kept everything at his home in west London.

Wonder what the end total will be?
