RIP Vera Lynn

[Courtenay]

It's just been announced that Dame Vera Lynn has died aged 103. RIP to a truly marvellous and inspiring lady. (And yes, I've just been listening to her singing We'll Meet Again.)

Very sad indeed, Courtenay.

Surely one of the greatest British singers ever. She was my dad's favourite and I have her singing this on the original 1962 recording which he bought at the time. Here it is as a tribute to her.

R.I.P Dame Vera.

Just read this and it has saddened me so much..

May she rest in peace.

She was a total legend, and will be remembered for all generations to come..

I wonder if she's the Vera Lynn of which Pink Floyd were singing about in "The Wall".

[Boatbuilder]

There is only ‘one’ Vera Lynn, Wolfgang and the words tell you that with the mention of her song ‘We’ll Meet Again’.
