I wouldn't say Cliff Richard is a national treasure.  He's liked by women of beyond a certain age but I don't think there's much love for him in the nation.  He's considered an annoyance rather than a treasure.  His Xmas records are generally irritating.  He annoys many with his piety and bored the nation by playing the martyr over the BBC covering the police raid on his home.

Tis a fair point Carny - he's not without a few skeletons.

People tend to forget the religious rallies he attended where homosexuality was denounced, even though he may be gay himself.

 

He does, however represent some kind of significant place in British history and came out of the Police investigation untainted.
