The news that Cilla Black has passed saddened Twitter users who grew up watching her Saturday night TV shows.
Cilla hosted more than 500 editions of Blind Date and Surprise! Surprise! and was the first woman to have her own prime-time chat show on BBC1.
Tweeters described Cilla as a huge part of their childhoods.
And some watched back over classic Blind Date moments.
Remember Graham?
Remember when Amanda Holden appeared on the show in an attempt to launch her career?
You’ve got to remember ‘the screen’.
And perhaps most touching of all is that it turns out some of the couples that met on Blind Date are still together!
We’ll miss you Cilla.
