I am that old I saw Queen support Mott the Hoople at Birmingham Town Hall in 1973.
Queen, a little known band at that time, gave an amazing performance and won over the audience with Freddie showing what a showman he was. I still remember Queen performing Keep Yourself Alive.

It's an old story here (as I have mentioned it before) but when they finished with Bohemian Rhapsody, I thought they were miming. They weren't but that was the level of their excellence.
Freddie wore this iconic outfit. ...

Great quiz. The hare question only from a student conversation decades ago with a lass from Hinckley. The answers are getting trickier...
Thanks, @Mi-Amigo.

I watched AND recorded it the other night @jonsie
I doubt Ray will want it on again as brilliant as it is......
@Mi-Amigo Really pleased with my Red Thinker award ... end thoroughly enjoyed this WRQ
I like certain Queen records very much ... = ... the x-husband had the album Sheer Heart Attack 
Rider Haggard was an educated guess ... always been interested in novels, but didn't read the book ... remember the film though with the stunningly beautiful Ursula Andress in
I played Puck at school but would not have known the answer to the question
The Monarch's official birthday one and who is the Queen's grandfather I knew
All the others were fun or not guesses
Thanks once again Mi-Amigo for compiling WRQ.

Thank you @Anonymous
It`s always interesting how those taking part come up with the answers - whether it`s from memories, or an interest [particular band, sport, passtime], or even educated [or lucky] guesses. Thanks for sharing your answers to this quiz.
Good luck with questions in Wed/Thurs WRQ.
