Cilla's son pays emotional tribute to 'young at heart' mum
Cilla Black's son Ben has paid emotional tribute to his mother, who he called a "fiercely proud and determined" woman who "refused to compromise".
Visibly struggling at points, he recounted humorous memories of conversations they shared - and spoke of the shock at losing her so young.
He described Cilla as "young at heart", and said her late husband Bobby had been the love of her life - "her world".
Bobby's death in 1999 had forced her to grow up, though only "a little", he added.
He went on to read the poem Farewell My Friends by Rabindranath Tagore.
