 LONDON, UK (London Times) - British pop legend Sir Cliff Richard may be 61, but he still has enough pulling power to convince two middle-aged women to queue for over a week in a car for tickets to his forthcoming UK tour. Judy Lawson, 48, and Shirley Downton, 46, are spending eight nights in a blanket-stuffed car in the southern English town of Bournemouth to make sure of front-row seats at Richard's first British tour in 10 years, the Times newspaper said on Wednesday. The pair have seen Richard in action more than 2,000 times between them already. They take turns to walk around shops during the day and pay to use shower facilities at a local swimming pool. The veteran bachelor boy's manager, Bill Latham, praised the women's tenacity. "Many of his fans are not young, but they show such extreme devotion, especially in cold weather," he told the Times.
