Cilla Black, the singer and much-loved television presenter, has died.
Black’s showbiz career began in the clubs of Liverpool, where she often sang alongside her friends The Beatles.
It was John Lennon and Paul McCartney who wrote Black’s first single, Love of the Loved, which went to number 35 in the charts. However, it was her version of Anyone Who Had a Heart, originally recorded by Dionne Warwick, that propelled her to number one and set her on the way to becoming a national treasure.

Every two years the most recognisable faces, influential names and powerful voices of television converge for three days of stimulating talks, chaired by one of the UK's main broadcasters.
Sound has the ability to change the mood of a scene and is often an underestimated part of television.
