    Could do with her belting out a couple now, probably get a synthesized Jessie J or Rita Ora.

    Happy Birthday

    Keep it up girl...

    She should stand outside ASDA belting out "We'll meet again" as vacuous, selfish hoards of tards binge buy with no thought other than themselves.

    "We'll meat again" 

    Happy birthday to a wonderful lady.

    103 what a fantastic innings (not out) and the way she got through the nervous 90's was impressive.

    Thanks for all the birthday messages.  I know Vera will be chuffed to receive these from the Charlton Life community.

    Was lucky enough to have spent a little bit of time with Vera. Filmed an interview with her in her house Once with a young producer who didn’t really know who Dame Vera was. She was modest and funny, and made us tea in a teapot and everything. She also sent a nice message to my mum who was in the early stages of dementia, and my mum’s eyes lit up when I passed it on. 
    Then a few years later spend an hour chatting to her at the Churchill War Rooms museum near the Foreign Office, with an older producer who was just as knocked out as I was. She was in her nineties by then, but still regaled us with wonderful, and often hilarious, tales of her wartime exploits in London and Malaya. She was so full of life it reminded me of chatting to a woman at a party when I was younger somehow, if that doesn’t sound too weird. The producer said the same. 
    And when I called her an icon she replied, “don’t be silly, I’m just a singer from the east end!”
    Happy Birthday Vera!

    My Dad, (Long since passed) a holder of the Burma Star, adored Dame Vera. Came out to India and Burma when no one else would during World War 2. God Bless you Dame Vera Lynn, Happy Birthday with many more to come!  A true English Rose!
