THE ETERNALLY YOUNG ONE

SIR CLIFF RICHARD'S 85TH BIRTHDAY IS CELEBRATED WITH A NEW BOOK LOOKING BACK ON HIS YEARS IN THE SPOTLIGHT.

- BY ASHLEIGH RAINBIRD

AFTER 300 million record sales, 14 UK number ones and a top five album in eight different decades, Sir Cliff Richard would be forgiven for putting his feet up.

Instead, the veteran entertainer is gearing up to go on tour again after celebrating his 85th birthday this month. To mark his milestone birthday, new book, Cliff at 85, shares some of the best photos of the man himself - taken by Mirror photographers throughout his long career.

They cover his time as the young Harry Webb, born in India to British couple Dorothy and Rodger Webb, who worked for the railways, through his movie star era with Summer Holiday and his Christian preacher years to the octogenarian we know today who led the Platinum Jubilee Parade in 2022 for his beloved Queen Elizabeth II.
