Could this be Ben Marvin in Cliff's Band?

I was watching a video on YouTube of Cliff's performance at the Queen's Jubilee, since I didn't see it on TV. Wow...I am a big Cliff fan but I don't even want to joke about it. Any way...

I don't know whether the band playing behind Cliff is necessarily his band, as opposed to the "house band" etc. But if it might have been Cliff's band...

At the 1:43 marker, if you hit Pause you can see a guy playing a Red Strat. I was wondering if this might be Ben Marvin? I thought it looked like Ben from afar...his posture, body language, hair, etc. But, when the camera went in closer, I didn't really think so. Then I changed my mind and went back to thinking it does look like him.

Hope you don't mind the question. I was just asking about Ben recently, and by coincidence I thought this person looked like him. Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,
Donna

It occurs to me that maybe what I said was ambiguous and came out wrong...so I'd like to try to fix that. I meant that I didn't want to joke about Cliff's unusually poor singing. I hope no one thought I was joking about the celebration itself, but if you did (which would be my fault), I apologise.

Here is a still photo showing the person I think is Ben Marvin, though you can't see much in this photo. In the YouTube video, you can see the person clearly if you click Pause. It might not be Ben, but the way he holds the guitar and frames his shoulders a certain way, it looks like him to me.

And, here is a nice photo from the Jubiilee which I found via Google, of Sir Cliff and Sir Paul.

Thank you for your kindness,
Donna
