Sad news that Cilla has passed away at such a young age.
I saw that she had died on facebook this morning but when I watched the BBC lunchtime news there was no mention of her. I have since looked up the BBC website and she isn't mentioned there either.
I'm just wondering why that should be? I know that she was mainly associated with ITV but that couldn't be the reason could it?

I have just seen this, RIP Cilla.
Not mentioned by the Beeb? It was on R2's 1.00pm bulletin, just before Elaine Paige's show.
BBC Radio 5 Live programme change at 6pm; Hour-long tribute to Cilla Black
'Cilla Black unpleasant person' Google. - bit of an eye opener.
Particularly disliked by airline staff.
I'll get right on it, Jenny
I heard about this at midday and immediately went to the BBC news site and saw nothing about it. I assumed that the BBC were waiting for confirmation. It may have been a long time coming because it was a Sunday?

Difficulty contacting her agent?

Actually, in these situations, who is the official who can say whether or a celebrity has passed away?
Why does somebody's death have to be confirmed by her agent? I don't have an agent. Does that mean my demise will not be officially recognised?

As I understand it the Spanish police confirmed Cilla's death. Not good enough for the Beeb?
the police confirmed the death to the Telegraph; that won't be good enough for the BBC, and shouldn't be. The Telegraph can get things wrong. The BBC are right to double check for themselves.
Allegedly, Cilla was horrendous in her attitude to airline crew, perhaps her fear of flying and champagne contributed to this. She would only speak to crew via her PA. But I loved her 60s songs...
