I was never a big fan of hers either Joeva, but she was a great part of my youth too and her songs evoke so many good memories - my OH always called her Killer Black :-D :-D

Paul O.Grady ..remembering her with laughter as well as tears .very moving x.Beautiful service with her family & friends Bless her <3

Me too Mersey......... beautiful service, with love, laughter and sadness for a woman that was an absolute icon in my youth.

I was never a great fan of Cilla , I admit, but her records bring back to me so many memories from my youth....... I mourn her passing ..... R.I.P Cilla

I thought it was all lovely <3 <3 a special send off for a special lady <3

Absolutely loved the Cilla and Phil Everly pairing. Well worth watching.

Thanks Jemima.

Me neither Ann....... but it was a brilliant and brave performance that he gave in the service... bravo Cliff !

not a Cliff fan, but I have to say, that was a beautiful rendering he sang

I watched her funeral today on BBC News Channel............. so very moving ........ two of her sons gave readings, that must have been so hard for them ............ Cliff Richard sang live 'Faithful One' .... and her friends Jimmy Tarbuck and Paul O'Grady spoke of their remembrances of her ...... they knew her as the women she was and raised laughter from the congregation. :-)

Rest in Repose Cilla ............ as 'Bishop Tom' said in your funeral service today. <3

<3 Cilla Thank you for the laughs .RIp condolences to All her Family & friends <3

I am so glad they have a cause
and that she didn't suffer :-D

Bless her :-D

SADLY DYING

The Post mortem has failed to find a reason for her death
I do hope they have some answers soon

and here's an unusual one

CILLA with MARC BOLAN .... LIFE'S A GAS (1973)

Cilla - what do I say? Gave enormous pleasure to generations of people. 1963 my 3yr old son fell in love and I could not understand him yesterday when he rang - devastated as are both my husband and I.

Is as much a part of Liverpool as the Liver Birds - indeed I would go so far as to say that she is the third Liver bird. <3 <3

R.I.P Cilla

It now seems that she had a fall shortly before she died, there were bruises on her elbow and arm so maybe the fall was the cause of her death, a stroke or something ?

If I went in my sleep I would be quite happy with that :-D :-D

Liz its called humour its practiced in the Boro often even at sad times
Cilla had said herself often in interviews
remember her with laughter and tears :-D :-D :-D
