Why Freddie wore Dutch flag-patterned armband in 1986? (I mean most with the Magic Tour)

I'm not aware of what the Dutch flag colors are, but on Live at Wembley the wrist band he's wearing is red, white and blue, in the pattern of the French flag.
Do you have any pictures of the arm band you're talking about??
I didn't realise the Dutch flag's colours were so unique, not featuring on ANY other country in the world.....
Does anyone object if I call this person an idiot?
Ah, okey, I was a bit mistaken. Queen fan brought Dutch flag when they came to watch the Magic tour (Wembley). and Freddie wore French flag-patterned wristband. But WHY?

Denial: Everything I see on the Wembley DVD are some Dutch flags and Freddie wearing dutch-flag armband... He intended to tour on The Netherlands in the following year?

"Following year"? They played in The Netherlands in 1986, during the Magic Tour...

Thanks, but why he didn't wear Uk-flag armband or Swedish-flag armband ... why Dutch?

Like a few people pointed out before, that is NOT necessarily dutch. Could be many other flags.
Or simply no flag at all.
We often see green and yellow lights lit on the stage simultaneously, but nobody thinks it's a tribute to Brazil. When they dress in red and white, nobody says it's a tribute to Japan.
You sound like a Dutch person dying for a proof that your country was incredibly revelant to Queen's final days and that their final concert should've been there instead of Knebworth (even though your profile says you're british).
