Kate Beckinsale celebrated Pride over the weekend through a reimagining of Queen’s ‘I Want to Break Free’ video which saw her demonstrate her finest Freddie Mercury impression.

The star joined up with three friends, including actor Brendan Scannell, to recreate a the iconic video which saw the four band members situated in a suburban house dressed up as women.

Beckinsale took on Mercury's original role as she pushed a vacuum cleaner around while lip syncing along, all while sporting the singer's famous moustache.

The 46-year-old completed the look with a pink top, leather skirt, thigh-high stockings and a pair of black high heels.

She posted the video to Instagram along with caption: "Happy Pride...from our social distancing a***s to yours @markusmolinari @jsauluck @bscan #queen #iwanttobreakfree.

The mother-of-one later shared further clips from the making of the collaborative effort as she joked: “Extra queens collectors edition.”

Over the weekend, thousands celebrated online after the coronavirus caused Pride events to be cancelled worldwide although some smaller protests and demonstrations were held.

In the absence of London Pride, 12 of the surviving Gay Liberation Front activists walked the route the event would've taken, 50 years on from when the group was first established in 1970.

In addition, hundreds of demonstrators participated in a Black Trans Live Matter march in the capital.

Sunday 28 June also marked the 50th anniversary of what is considered to be the first Pride parade which took place in New York in 1970, one year after the Stonewall riots.
