As Australia prepares to farewell Olivia Newton-John at a state memorial service, we want to hear your memories

Olivia Newton-John was well known for her role as Sandy in the film Grease. (supplied)

When Olivia Newton-John died at 73 last year,  the tributes that followed highlighted not just her prosperous career as a singer and actor, but also her ability to touch people's lives through her charity work and activism.

The British-born Australian used her experience of overcoming and then later living with breast cancer to both raise awareness of the disease and support others through actions like building a cancer centre focused on treatment and research.

As Australia prepares to pay its final tribute to the beloved worldwide icon at a state memorial service in Melbourne this Sunday, we want to hear your memories.

Was there a key moment in your life that will be forever fused with an Olivia Newton-John song?
