Cilla Black's son has praised the work of sculptors for capturing his mother's 'joy' in a bronze statue of the star unveiled in Liverpool today.

Robert Willis revealed that his mother would be 'forever young' thanks to the statue's youthful features - including her nose as it was post-cosmetic surgery.
Unveiling the statue, Robert said Cilla 'never really appreciated getting old but now she will be forever young'.

Placed in Cilla's beloved Liverpool, in the original spot where the famous Cavern Club was, the statue was commissioned by her three sons Robert, Ben, and Jack who donated the statue to the city in memory of their mum.

Robert added: 'It's based on a sixties design, the dress is chequered and it enabled us to put little stories like photos and lyrics hidden in there for people to check out.
'I'm just incredibly relieved that it turned out as well as it did. We are so happy with it and I hope people enjoy it.
