    Police are searching a Berkshire property belonging to Sir Cliff Richard in relation to an alleged historical sex offence.

    A number of items were removed from the property in the Sunningdale area for further investigation, but no arrests have been made.

    A police spokesman said the allegation involved a boy under 16 and dated from the 1980s in the South Yorkshire area.

    The search is not connected to Operation Yewtree, police said.

    But officers from that operation have been notified, a South Yorkshire Police spokesman added.

    Sir Cliff, born Harry Webb, is one of the most successful British musicians of all time.

    He has sold 21.5 million singles - more than any other male British artist - and is the only performer to have had at least one UK top five album in each of the last seven decades.

    He has represented the UK in the Eurovision song contest twice and in 2013 released the 100th album of his career.

    He was knighted in 1995 and performed at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace in 2012.

    If it happened in the 1980's, what are they searching his home for? The condom he used that he keeps under his pillow?

    Sir Cliff Richard’s Sunningdale property in Berkshire has been searched by police in relation to allegations of an incident of a sexual nature during the 1980s. The suspicions are believed to have involved a boy who was under sixteen at the time, according to the BBC.

    While no arrests have been made, items were removed from the singer’s home for further analysis.

    South Yorkshire police have confirmed that the raid had nothing to do with Operation Yewtree but that officers from that operation have been notified.

    I don't know about any other alleged crimes but I do know Bragg was once a Tottenham fan and later switched to supporting Arsenal. You can't do that. You don't switch clubs. That should definitely be an offence.

    Yes he's on record as a Carlisle fan from his youth but when he moved to London he watched Spurs for years before switching to Arsenal.

    Said on the R4 news at 4 o'clock that the plods didn't inform Harry W, but did inform the press (that they were going to search his Berkshire home).
