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.

On Trial - A pilot concert in Liverpool on Sunday saw 5,000 people legally crammed into a small space for the first time since the start of the pandemic. The mini-festival, headlined by Blossoms, in Liverpool s Sefton Park was one of the government s official trial events to research how large gatherings can safely take place again. All ticket holders had to take a supervised lateral flow test at one of four testing centres in the city the day before and were only allowed in if the test was negative. They were also strongly encouraged to take more sensitive PCR tests on the day of the show and to do so again five days later, on Friday. That will be crucial to working out whether there was any spread of the virus. It s all with the aim of working out how summer music festivals can go ahead after 21 June, when stage four of the government reopening roadmap will, in theory, see the end of restrictions on social contact.
