Watch Airport Baggage Handlers Dance to Queen in Tribute to Freddie Mercury

The British Airways baggage team at Britain's Heathrow Airport paid tribute to iconic Queen frontman Freddie Mercury Wednesday by releasing a video of them dancing to "I Want to Break Free."

Freddie used to work as a baggage handler at Heathrow Airport before making it in Queen. Wednesday, September 5, was his birthday.

The airport team worked with a choreographer for the routine in which they wore Mercury-style mustaches and hi-vis work jackets modified to resemble one of Freddie's most iconic looks.

You can see the workers surprise and delight passengers outside the hub's Terminal 5 in the video below. 

In addition to the dance video, which was shared by Queen's official social media and used to promote the upcoming Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, the airport will honor Mercury in other ways this month.

Heathrow announced plans to feature Queen songs on its arrival boards and sell Queen memorabilia in its departures lounge, reports NME.

Furthermore, passengers named Freddie or Frederick or Farrokh (Mercury's birth name) will get upgraded to the British Airways First lounge. 

The film Bohemian Rhapsody, which stars Rami Malek as Mercury, is due in theaters November 2. 

Queen + Adam Lambert is busy this month in Las Vegas with a 10-concert residency at Park Theater at Park MGM.
