Sir Cliff Richard has support to a new North East cancer charity

Sir Cliff Richard has support to a new North East cancer charity - all the way from his luxury Caribbean villa.

From his holiday home in Barbados, Sir Cliff as a brush after the site that greeted Maggie Alderson new volunteers to ask for his autograph courage plucked.

Cliff signed his photograph to donate for the charity has been set up by former hotelier.

His message reads: “To Daft As A Brush Cancer Patient Care, good luck, Cliff Richard”.

Mrs Alderson, grandmother of nine, Gosforth, the New Castle in the sun for a three-week period with friends flew out tropical island.

She said: “I went out to Barbados with some friends who I’ve known for about 14 years now. On one of the evenings we were socialising and I met a man who said he knew Sir Cliff.

People don’t normally talk about charity when they go on holiday, but I started to tell him about Daft As A Brush because it’s such an amazing concept.

When I went home, I started wondering if he would be able to get a signed photo of Sir Cliff for the charity. I asked one of my friends about it and she said it would be OK to ask him.

And then he presented me with this picture and I just couldn’t believe it. I was absolutely blown away.

I couldn’t wait to get back and show Brian.”

'Extremists' target radio station because they play Cliff Richard

A local radio station's website was hacked into by 'extremists' because they played a song by Cliff Richard, the station's owner claims. Radio Basingstoke was exchanged for a message cautions "the west" that they should not insult Islam.

Owner of the station Astrid Haigh-Smith told The Daily Mail she trusts it was because Cliff Richard is on their playlist. Haigh-Smith said: "I just consideration maybe it was because we had commented that we hoped our hordes would be safe over Christmas. We’ve also played the Cliff Richard version of 'Hallelujah', but we would never dream of running down any religions."

The website was hacked into on January 5 and on January 7 by extremists asserting to work on behalf of Ahmed Al-Qahtani, who is supposed to have been concerned in the attacks in the US on September 11, 2001.

The hackers left a message saying: "Whoever thinks of insulting Islam or Muslims will suffer the same fate. We are the terrifying of western websites in the cyber war."
