Sir Cliff does his bit to support an important cause.

Sir Cliff Richard visited a hospice in Maidenhead to offer his support and engage with the residents there.

The pop legend dropped by Thames Hospice last Saturday to meet with just patients, staff and volunteers, and the hospice said he spread "joy and happiness to all".

Sir Cliff also donated the hospice one of his iconic jackets, which he personally signed, with it to be used in future fundraising efforts.

"It was my pleasure to visit Thames Hospice and meet all the lovely staff and volunteers who work so hard to provide amazing care," Cliff said.

"Meeting some of their patients reminded me how important hospice care is. I hope they can raise a lot from my jacket, which is a favourite of mine. I watched Andy Murray win Wimbledon while wearing it!"

Director of Fundraising at Thames Hospice Jane Symmons said: "We are incredibly thankful to Sir Cliff Richard for taking the time to visit us.

"His kindness and genuine care for our patients, families, and staff have left a lasting impression.

"Visits like this are a meaningful reminder of ensuring patients receive not only medical care, but also emotional support during their time at the Hospice.”
