An Icon Passed Away

Dame Vera Lynn, who became a figure of hope and resilience as the U.K.’s “Forces’ Sweetheart” during World War II, has died at the age of 103.

Her family said in a statement they were “deeply saddened to announce the passing of one of Britain’s best-loved entertainers at the age of 103.”

During World War Two, Lynn hosted a radio show, Sincerely Yours, in which she read messages to British troops serving overseas. Her recordings of the songs “We’ll Meet Again” and “The White Cliffs of Dover” became morale-boosting anthems of hope during the wartime period.

When I first heard sing the song, "We'll meet again" my heart melted. Take a listen and see if you don't agree.
