A Tribute To Vera Lynn on VE Day
By
This year, we’re marking VE Day with this tribute to Forces’ sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn, who sadly passed away last year aged 103.
This article was originally written for us by Douglas MacPherson, and published in “The People’s Friend” in summer 2020.
In 1939, when Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain announced on the radio that Britain was at war with Germany, Vera Lynn thought, “Oh, well, bang goes my career.”
Little did the young singer suspect that she would become one of Britain’s brightest beacons of hope during the conflict that was to follow. Or that her songs, such as “We’ll Meet Again” and “The White Cliffs Of Dover”, would remain emblems of resilience eight decades later.
