[@johncarron9389]

I was born in 1935, and living in London. I remember virtually living in a very small air raid shelter, and the only contact with the outside World was listening to a radio. Dame Vera Lynn would sing the songs that everyone would listen to.I remember being on my knees with my Mother ,and saying a prayer every night. We constantly had bombs falling all around us.That was how we knew whether it was daytime or nighttime, as the bombing was just constant at night. Vera Lynn was such a great person to listen to, and made life a lot more bearable for everyone during those very frightful times. Many years later my wife and I had the pleasure of attending a show and saw her in person. The show was in Wimbledon, and it started at midnight, and so she performed around 1.30 in the morning.!!!. I have no idea who the other people were that performed that night, but I still remember every note of her performance. Every time that I hear her, as many of you have stated, at age six I cried with my mother, and two other folks that shared the shelter.I have often thought since that she should have sung “ Cry me a river” because she certainly caused plenty of them. Thank you Dame Vera Lynn.

I was an history teacher and used to play this music to the 13-14 year olds studying the SWW, and it never ceased to amaze me how much it "spoke" to young people. I had some playing in my classroom during an open evening one year. I hadn't realised that I was joining in until I turned round and saw a group of pupils and visitors listening to me.

I'm 60 and I wish I was born in those days just to hear and listen to the true music and songs of those days live just like Dame Vera Lynne and others like her and the big bands, yes, I was born in the mid 50s but I always loved the 40s music and songs, Vera was a beauty then and still good looking here! God bless Dame Vera

I will be turning 19 in september, and this is the sort of music I will listen to on a daily basis. Most of my CD's are songs from the old days. Artists like Vera, Gracie, Doris Day, Bing Crosby, dean martin, alma cogan and of course teresa brewer but one of my all time favourites is miss eileen barton music isnt real anymore

You sure know class for one so young. They were the greatest, not just for their songs but their spirit.

[@isengard1500]

Dont forget Judy Garland and Roonie

One of Our Nations greatest stars who’s worthy of the Star statutes, Dame Vera Lynn who recently celebrated her 101th birthday. 😊🇬🇧

She brings warmth and expression to these songs, you can imagine how people must have felt during the war.

R.I.P to one amazing legend one incedible voice this is just wonderful viewing here

[@brendadrew834]

Love many of those old great songs and esp. the White Cliffs of Dover which I saw once crossing the English Channel from Calais, France. What an era!~ Thanks for sharing, brought the Brit in me out! lol BTW, Vera looked damned good for her age, beautiful , inside and out!

[@waynebrasler]

As many have noted, her voice never grew older (compare the original recordings of songs by her with versions recorded 30 years or more later), nor did her feeling for the story each song was telling lessen. She always sang every song as if it was the first time she'd done it. She is still with us, bless her.

Rest in peace dame vera lynn my heart felt condolences to your family

[@lindambird2180]

I saw her at Union Station in Toronto Canada, 5.9.1987 and it was extremely emotional watching and listening to her singing.. There wasn't a dry eye by the time she finished, she was brilliant.. Her smile just lit up the area.. 🐦

[@timellis4214]

Kept a bloody good voice well into her Autumn years didn't she hey? Most lost theirs at her age here. Fantastic.

Dear Mephis Dolittle, You have superb musical taste, and wisdom plus soul. You recognise that quality and class are timeless... I wish you a long and musically rich life...

[@billythedoggie]

loved when she says "all the boys will be home again all over the world" which i am thinking all the nations whose "boys" will finally be coming home after a hard fought war..from the beginning of time "boys" have that need to fight whether its over a "girl" or a nation but listening to this wonderful woman Ms Lynn sing and sounding just like she did during the War...love what this gentleman said about how much the Brits will continue to fight against the germans or anyone who tried to take over their island...we will fight and we will never surrender!!!

[@alexisgielis9932]

I am Dame Vera Lynn very thankful for the songs she played during WW2, My Gran´s funeral was closed with We Meet Again.... I always play it at his last living day. Thank you Vera!!!!!!

[@stuartashbourne-martin9629]

Might never happen with Dame Vera Lynn ever passes away I think she should get a state funeral my parents were older when they adopted me my grandmother was in the first world war my adopted mother and father win the second world war and Vera Lynn was an inspiration to millions apart from Judy Garland thank you I don't think she'll ever realise how many lives she saved. By giving the British people and the Commonwealth inspiration thank you Dame Vera Lynn

[@laureniuel6565]

Good for you. Her music is timeless.

[@jordanpaige7329]

[@sunnysim7921]

Wow, I feel overwhelmed watching this. My Mum sang with her in concert back in 1946!

[@duqxmw1967]
