We'll Meet Again - Hayley Westenra & Vera Lynn

[@ravioli_cleetus1313]

I am a german and i dont know if i will be accepted for it but i would never in a million years support what ww2 had to offer. Such a terrible Happening. God bless all of those poor souls who had to face this and suffer. It truly warms my heart to see that this song is so well respected and is still remembered greatly to this day ❤️

[@AngloAm]

Accepted because from a brother country in free Europe.

[@barryschwarz]

The vast majority of us in all nations look back in those dark days with the same horror. Lest we forget.

[@tintins4021]

Well said.., unfortunately, Man’s desire to inflict pain and suffering upon his fellow man is insatiable, History of the world has taught us this. But your words like many will penetrate their armour

[@jimharrison748]

History proves Britain and Germany shared so much culture and were so absolutely the same. I've heard those conflicts being described somewhat callously as a huge family argument! There is some truth in that in so much of Victorias boys wanted a bigger empire than the other. In my mind, what a shameful and dreadful result of the mindset back then on both sides! What they didn't foresee was a maniac with a real hatred emerging from the mess they left! Great at posturising and grabbing their lapels for a self important photoshoot but dismally bad at thinking ahead about their damage to Germany.

[@HoiPolloi23]

history is a lie agreed upon - this includes ww2. the more you know...

She (Vera Lynn) passed today 6-18-2020 at 103, may she forever rest in peace. She inspired then and we could use some of her inspiration today.

[@geraldinepfeiff2016]

I was born in 1946 , but my dad and uncles would sing this song And others of that era . They were my favorites and still are

[@davidfletcher452]

I was born in 45 and like you all my family had returned from the battle fields. Certainly different times

[@kyawlwincaptain]

I was a young seventeen year old Naval volunteer reserve in 1944 when I first heard Vetra Lynn singing the old standard " White Cliffs of Dover " when she was also known as "Forces Sweetheart " who could make us homesick at the front line but also raise our morale. Another British popular songstress was Ann Shelton, " the Girl with a Torchy voice " , a fair rival . I still remember many hours spent listening to a Radio SEAC , forces radio station from Colombo to their songs. i suppose not many of us are around.

[@DicksonEd01]

Captain Shephard True but it feels a little weird since this is an English war-time hymn. Some vets, right or wrong, may feel it's a sacred memory and might be best not to call out old wounds..

[@adamdrummer1991]

Played this version at my grandads funeral. I cry every time when Vera comes on screen. The orchestra were synced to her on screen vocal bloody perfectly. And the fact that the orchestra are themselves soldiers, plus the Fron male voice choir. There is so much I could say about this performance…

[@tommoncrieff1154]

Yes, it’s brilliant and very emotional.

[@takata98]

I wasn't born until after the war, but many of my earliest memories were the respect and admiration for Vera Lynn and the emotion her songs and the impact had on my elders. I can't recall a time in my life where I didn't know or couldn't sing along. When Dame Vera Lynn passed in 2020, I was in the UK. In tribute the city centre where I was played all Vera Lynn's song catalogue for several days. The atmosphere was palpable, people from every generation young and old, every nationality or ethniity sang along or wiped a tear as they smiled or acknoledged each other walking and singing as they lined for stores or banks. I felt priveliged to have been witness to this nations most distinguished and much loved lady... RIP.

And our 2 countries still stand together for freedom -- UNLIKE the rest of Western Europe (France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, etc.) which has BETRAYED the cause of freedom and has now OPENLY SIDED WITH THE ENEMIES OF CIVILIZATION!

[@vickifriend9285]

Well it’s that time of the year again. Remembrance Service from The Royal Albert Hall. Nothing, but nothing beats the appearances of Dame Vera Lynn over the years. That was what the audience was awaiting, year in, year out. It’s so special to me. My Mother was the split of her when she was very young and my Grandma sang me all her songs. I was a weird child, singing war time songs in the 60’! Only once I had the honour of being there, there’s absolutely nothing like it. Im familiar with The RA Hall but this occasion is always magical. Such magnificent memories. Thanks you

[@shaneengelberts120]

This is one of those songs that stirs the spirit in any human soul, and brings a tear on one's eyes and teaches us that we all should aim for the true values of life, for all of us to meet in peace and sing together and for all people irrespective of borders, to be one family. I pity that nation whose members do not sing together as it seems that singing is the right path to civilization.

This, young people, is what we refer to as "having class". Looking, acting, and giving the very best of yourself so as to honor everyone around you. A secondary aspect is that by doing so, in an around about way, you bring a certain sense of dignity and honor back to yourself. It's a true "win-win" situation.

I think she thought to the time, when she was a young girl in war ........ and HER country too. She seemed to feel sad hearing this wonderful song.

[@寒山居士]

ThePilot314 I think the Queen drove an army truck or ambulance during the war. The greatness of the Queen is the sincere concern, captured so well in this video, that she holds for her many subjects who had sacrificed so much during that horrible time for Britain. Actually, the Windsors, conducted themselves quite properly and elegantly during the war. The King and Queen would think nothing of moving to the safety of Canada, so as to share in the general danger and suffering.
