A campaign for a memorial to Dame Vera Lynn on the White Cliffs of Dover has received Government support.
Culture minister Matt Warman told MPs he “looks forward” to the day when a statue is in place to commemorate the singer, who entertained troops with morale-boosting visits to the front line during the Second World War.
Dame Vera died last year at the age of 103.
Fundraising for the project is expected to begin on June 18 – the anniversary of her death.

Conservative Sir David Amess (Southend West) led an adjournment debate in the House of Commons calling for the project to go ahead.
