Very sad. At least she's with Bobby now.

Amen my brother.

As a 68 year old I find anyone dying of 'natural causes' at 72 more than a bit frightening. As ever, once you get to my age, the obituaries seem to leap from the page.

Cilla was a good entertainer and did well to have such a long career. I was watching some clips earlier. Brought back some memories for sure. She never seemed to me to be a natural performer but made good use of what she had.

RIP.

She was very pretty and although not my taste, a good singer ... a very nice lass and am very surprised at this news. She always looked healthy. Guess you just never know when your time is up ..RIP CILLA

Well, Gordon, you know what they say about 'three scores and ten'........ However, people generally are living longer now than ever, due to healthier diets, etc, so it certainly needn't be 'curtains' when you hit 70. It does hammer home the message, though, of the importance of looking after yourself. Your health is certainly your wealth!

I always liked Cilla, and apart from her singing career and relationship with The Beatles, I have fond memories from the 90s of her hosting the show 'Blind Date', which was always worth a giggle. Indeed, any show she hosted, her genuine warmth as a caring person shone through.

Also, like most celebrity scousers, she never let her wealth go to her head, and remained down to earth, always remembering and respecting her roots.

R.I.P, Cilla.

Blind date was a good laugh.

Bye bye Cilla B.

There's some interesting comments on social media mostly from dockers and miners during the Thatcher era who don't seem that bothered that she's died.

Indeed, in the papers too. The word 'hateful' was used rather often. Perhaps a dictionary definition would be useful to them. She may or may not have been an unpleasant woman but it is them that are hateful. Glee over any death seems perverted at best.
