Tributes to Cilla Black have poured in from organisations across Bucks after the star passed away aged 72.

The singer and television presenter, who died on August 1, had a house in Denham and was patron of two charities in South Bucks.

Healthcare charity, Scannappeal, paid tribute to its 'remarkable' patron.

The 'Anyone who had a Heart' singer and Blind Date host was involved with the charity for nearly 20 years.

The charity raises funds to purchase life-saving equipment for Amersham, Stoke Mandeville, Wycombe and Community Hospitals.

A statement released by the charity on Monday said: "Scannappeal's trustees, staff and volunteers were very sad to hear the news that the charity's principal patron, Cilla Black, has passed away. Cilla was actively involved with Scannappeal for nearly 20 years and has met thousands of supporters during that time.

"She played a key part in the success of many appeals for life-saving equipment, hosted receptions to thank donors and attended major fundraising events and private functions to thank the charity's many volunteers."

Scannappeal's Chairman, William Baxter CBE, said: "As principal patron she worked tirelessly to help Scannappeal raise funds and to give supporters the recognition they deserved through her Patron's Awards scheme.

"We have lost a remarkable person who brought sparkle and humour to every occasion."

Cilla was also the patron for Heart of Bucks, Buckinghamshire Community Foundation.

Heart of Bucks Interim Chief Executive, Guy Birkby, said: "Cilla was one of our Patrons at Heart of Bucks for several years. Cilla had a huge heart and was always very willing to become involved in local causes. She understood that patronage by someone of her standing gives such a lift to a charity.

"Buckinghamshire is a rich county but there are a lot of areas of need which are sometimes hidden. Cilla supported our work at Heart of Bucks in connecting generous donors with the local causes and charities they care about, helping vulnerable and disadvantaged people in their local communities."

The star delighted fans in Aylesbury in 2010, as she opened the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, before appearing in its first pantomime, Cinderella.

Elizabeth Adlington, Area Theatre Manager at the Waterside Theatre, paid tribute to the performer.

She said: "Cilla Black was a true star, and we feel extremely privileged that she officially opened the Waterside Theatre in October 2010.

"She returned in December 2010 to lead our Pantomime cast in “Cinderella” as the Fairy Godmother, and her popularity was evident as she wowed our audiences with her performance night after night.

"This is a great loss to the industry, but we feel proud and honoured that she performed in our theatre. She brought “Cilla magic” to all who crossed her path or were fortunate enough to see her perform.

"As the theatre approaches its fifth birthday, staff and our customers will fondly reflect on the memories made during our opening season with one of the nation’s most-loved entertainers."
