Dame Vera Lynn's Memorial - Famous Graves

[@ellenlyons4090]

Bless Vera my Dad said she really boosted the country moral during the war. He said she carried on giving concerts even though London was getting bombed nightly at one point. My Dad used to get a tear in his eye when Vera was on the TV. I imagine he was remembering what the wars were like but he never failed to sing a long. RIP Vera singing with the Angels 👼

[@MeganPacker-i7h]

I started learning vera lynn songs since I was a young child and knew well meet again word for word by the time i was about 6 she was my nans favourite singer and iv loved her since I was a child to I'm now 23 and always have vera Lynn's songs playing ❤

[@1959Berre]

When my mother passed in 2015 we played the song "We'll meet again" at her funeral. A wonderful song that gives comfort in difficult times. People, take good care of your mother, you only have one. I miss mine every single day.

Another Iconic video Paul I’m a Veteran of the RAF Regiment & sang with her during the 1983 Earls Court Royal Tournament in London & to this day I attend the Cenotaph in London remembering such happy memories!!! Thank You Paul 👍 & Thank You Vera Lynn Forces Sweetheart xxx

Wonderful Woman That Had A Very Long Career.... Rip Dame Vera Lynn ❤️

[@juliehempe3303]

Dame Vera..what an icon.what a Lady..Still makes me cry evert time I hear " we'll meet again.

[@brettsairgent577]

She deserved much more recognition than that small stone she was an Icon who gave so much during the war to boost the morale of the troops she deserves a statue so she is never forgotten

[@JadeBirgSmith]

oh she did dont worry but she wanted to be with her husband thats why they share the stone because when her husband died she wanted to get something that could honor them both someday.

[@nigelbrigstock19]

Paul well done. A proper lady a brave woman a national heroine. Singing in heaven now. God bless your majesty.

[@edwardrodgers9383]

Thanks for that! I grew up with the voice of Vera Lyn - mainly on the radio, through my Mother who joined the 'Royal Australia Army' during WWII. They were my informative years, and I was given the benefit of hearing the outstanding voices of Vera Lyne (The Forces Sweetheart) and Kate Smith (The American) as they sang their memorable songs over the years. I grew to love them too; may they Rest In Peace.🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@maureenstott9097]

That was brilliant.She brought a little bit of home to so many

There is always something we can be concerned about. The secret is to rise above it and do whatever we can to make the world a better place. Vera Lynn

OMG. I just came across your channel. This narrative of Vera Lynn has touched me very deeply. Memories, memories, memories of a lifetime. Born 77 years ago, Godalming, Surrey, April 1945. Mother born Southampton 1916 and enlisted in ATS. Married my American father in 1944, 82nd Airborne. Grew up listening to Vera Lynn all of my life. Mom and dad singing all the time. Even today in 2022, I have downloaded Vera Lynn songs onto my cell phone and will listen at will. Thank you so much for sharing Dame Vera Lynn’s resting place. You have made my day. 🥰👍🏻🙏

[@michelledaviesburton1334]

Bless Dame Vera! You did her proud, lovely video, beautiful little Church. And how great to run into a grave digger! What a lovely chap! Look forward to the next one 😊

[@David-uf8ex]

A lovely proud lady who did so much for our troops may she rest in peace

[@vinmakesthings]

Another great tribute to an iconic lady. Nice video!

[@suemills9045]

My mothers mother my grandma taught Vera to play piano when she was young . She reminds me of my mum my mum loved to sing beautiful voice. When I hear her songs it brings a tear to my eye remembering my mum.

[@gingerninjawhinger9986]

What a beautiful resting place for the Force's Sweetheart. Rest in peace eternally, Dame Vera 💖

Brought up on Dame Vera's music.. my Dad served in Burma with his beloved No5 Commando and saw her perform at some point. She is a true icon. R.I.E.P 🙏🙏💜

[@rachelmayes298]

My late Grannie used to love listening to her songs, as it brought back so many memories of when my Grandfather was in the Army. I still listen to her songs now. You can see why she was a sweetheart, she was really good looking when she was younger. I wish her, and everyone who fought in WW2 that they may rest in peace. I wonder what they would think to how Britain is now? God bless them all

[@maddienewo2228]

One of your best. I enjoyed the little interview with David - bless him. I was only watching a Vera Lynn film yesterday… the title escapes me 🎥 🎤 🍿 🇬🇧

[@angelamatthew1487]

Love watching your videos , my Dad and his pals during the war loved her , a little bit of home out with the lads. Love seeing the small country Churches , take care 😊

[@hellsbells7271]

What a credit this woman was not only to her profession, but to all the men and women whose hopes she kept alive during the war. Paul, when someone addresses such delicate matters as death and gravestones, they have to be respectful, compassionate and understanding of the person who is being brought back to life for such a short period of time whilst your telling some of their life story, you have the above in bucket loads and this is what attracts so many people to your channel Thank you for not just going to a cemetery and try to make a quick exit with little or no information, you take your time in telling the story and genuinely care both about your subject, and your audience.

[@RonRicho]

I can't tell you how much I admire you for making this pilgrimage. I put Ms Lynn right alongside Winston Churchill in boosting moral during the war. Great lady. I intend to visit her grave on out next visit. Thanks.

[@gaynor3976]

Thank for being so courteous. Love your videos xx

[@jackiebull2866]

Stunningly a beautiful church you are spoiling me love being in church yards I sit alot in grave yards only time you feel peace

[@brendafox1573]

Orrrr,I really did enjoy watching this video,my dad often spoke about vera and his army years,what a legend, and a beautiful person,and voice she had,her song,"we'll meet again" was played at both my mum and dads funeral,it was their favourite and had so many memories for them too,thankyou for the video you're respectful as always.❤️

[@susanlennard8495]

Hi Paul,I do not live far from Ditchling,the village Vera lived in is very pretty there is a lovely garden centre there aswell.Dame Vera seemed such a lovely lady,and she did a lot for the service people to keep their spirits up during the war.The people who lived through the war,must of really been upset on Vera’s passing as she was a link to their era back then.Must of brought a lot of memories back to them.Thankyou Paul,your videos are always so respectfully done,and you always tell their story so well.Hopefully Vera is resting in peace with her beloved husband,she will never be forgotten.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@helenpeck1954]

Another beautiful tribute. What a stunning place to be laid to rest. I am not overly religious but where ever I am in the world, if I can I go into a local church and light candles for my parents, sit a while and just remember the short time I had with them ❤️

[@891rockster]

She was a lovely lady - I helped her sort through her stuff many years ago in ditching I love your videos and I'm a true believer of spirits - I've seen some I'm a huge follower of the Warren family I'm from Eastbourne

[@kelvinsurname7051]

@Rockstar Graham Homan, could you tell me more about your encounter with Dame Vera Lynn?

[@warrenbradshaw2948]

Hello Paul. Just like to thank you for the Wonderfull job you are doing. I was born in the early 40s and would have loved to go round and visited all those great entertainers who brought joy and happiness throughout mine and my wife's lifetime. But due to age and health issues, impossible. Because of your time and great dedication you are doing just that for us and no doubt thousands of people around the country. Bless you and well done mate.
