Dame Vera Lynn RIP.

I think the troops that she visited loved and appreciated her and her visits and singing boosted their morale at a time when it was sorely needed.
What a wonderful age to reach.

RIP Dame Vera

She lived in a village near us. Good age. She was a year older than mum who died this year, and her daughter is a year older than me.

Saying that mum always turned her nose up at her songs. I think time has made her more important.

What a great age. Vera Lynn must have outlived most of the service men and women she sang to.

RIP

103 some age! RIP Dame Vera.

Having said that I do remember my father, like most men of his age in the armed forces for the entire duration of the war, saying he couldn't stand the mawkish "we'll meet again" and "White Cliffs of Dover"

I was asked today if I had met her during the war- actually no, I was born in September 1943.

RIP a wonderful lady.

Can't add anything to that Nannytrace so true. RIP Dame Vera

Grace and service. What a combination. A real hero and an example to us all. Plus a sing-a-long cracking tune that united so many. RIP Dame Vera.

I am so glad she got to see and experience the 75th VE day celebrations. She brought so much comfort to so many troops.

RIP Dame Vera.

We really need our entertainers, especially in troubled times, and Dame Vera epitomised this for a whole generation.
So glad this lovely lady was still here for this year’s V E Day commemorations.

End of an era. Dear Vera Lynn.

A marvellous lady with a glorious voice. She will long be remembered. RIP Dame Vera.

A national treasure who worked tirelessly for the troops during the war. May she rest in peace.

What a wonderful life she lived- so inspirational. RIP

RIP Vera. This is a story my mum always told. During the war whenever she was heard on the radio my uncle used to say "She can't sing but she's got something." and then turn the radio up as loud as possible.

Sad news, RIP Dame Vera

So sad, a true treasure and relevant throughout her life.

One of the truly great entertainers and people of the twentieth century.

One of the very few British stars to several times make the very dangerous journey out to the far east during the Second World War to entertain all those serving with the "forgotten army" in Burma.

She then attributed much of her time in later life to supporting the Burma Star Association and in that those who returned from that conflict with so many scars.

May Vera always Rest In Peace.

How lucky to live to be 103. I am 82 and am enjoying life so much I never want to die. Lucky too to die with all your marbles intact. I love that the Queen and her old man are - well - old. Hope for me. My role model is my friend Daphne Selfe. 99 and still a working fashion model. Respect!

Bless her, and her family. So sad that we can't all go and pay our respects to her in the current climate, but perhaps there will be an online book of remembrance?

Aw,very sad. A national treasure indeed. RIP Dame.

Glamma, yes they're working---I forget to check my mail

Sending best wishes EV are your PMs working.?

Just heard this on tv - very sad especially after the recent No 1 of We'll Meet Again but 103 is a great age. She looked so like my MIL in her younger days too

Aw, yes I've just heard, bless her. RIP to a lovely lady. x
