Adhesive to stick Mirror to Tiles

I would prefer not to drill into my porcelain tiles in the bathroom because they are heavens hard and it does open a small area of potential leakage for moisture. Is it possible to have an adhesive that sticks a 600 x 600 mirror to a 600 x 600 porcelain tile?
People tell me drilling is the answer but I understand Concorde was held together with adhesive. If they can hold a supersonic aeroplane together surely there's something that can do this task!
Open to advice.

Why not just use silicone. Our large bathroom mirror and a stainless steel oven splashback have been fixed with it for over 10 yearsAs Manuel says in Fawlty Towers: " I Know Nothing"0

The 3M command strips was my first thought too. You can get them cheaper on Ebay.0

Seal or tape the back before using silicone . It can eat the mirror . Double sided tape could do it both is better . If you got safety backed mirror (easy available) thats ok to use silicone .:cool: hard as nails on the internet . wimp in the real world :cool:0
