How do I use parameters within a self definedcustom command?

I want to define a global search and replace with confirmation command, something like:

command Gfr :s/<parameter1>/<parameter2>/gc

So I can type:

:Gfr foo bar

and vimVim will find all occurrences of 'foo' in the document and ask for each whether I want to replace it with 'bar'.

Googling has led me to some tantalising hints that this is possible, but no definitive answer.
