The strain of living under suspicion showed on the face of Sir Cliff Richard as he waited to welcome friends to Barbados.

The 74-year-old pop veteran, who has been accused of groping a boy at a religious festival in 1985, strongly denies the allegation, but his face shows the agony, the Mirror reported.

Richard, who was quizzed by detectives in August 2014 after a man came forward with the claim and his Berkshire home was also searched, was not arrested or charged and later returned to the Caribbean island.

Police chiefs recently said the investigation has grown but there have been no further details and no action.
