I AM WATCHING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES. I AM 86 YEARS OLD SO I HAVE A LOT OF MEMORIES. GOOD AND BAD. BUT WHEN I LISTEN TO VERA LYNN SING THESE SONGS I AM UPLIFTED TO A SPIRITUAL PLANE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SPECIAL PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR ENTAINERS LIKE VERA LYNN.

At 78 in this clip.. Her voice was still so young and strong sounding.... a true gem

She passed away today. This superb performance, over 50 years since she recorded these hits, is a testament to her talent and to the veterans who loved her.

She's still serenading the troops in Heaven with her crystal clear voice. Truly, they were the Greatest Generation!

I’ve watched again. There is no one to compare with ‘Dame Vera’ there never will be. The older I get the more I appreciate this. Thank you.

What a voice...what a woman!!

I remember hearing about Miss Lynn,when my uncles came home all safe in 194 5 ,I was 9 yrs, old and remember it well. They loved her and so did my family too. God Bless her ,rest in peace and thank you.

Her voice was so crisp and strong. In this video she still beat the “singers” of today that rely on auto tune and light shows. Amazing talent, Rest In Peace Vera Lynn!

Still an amazing voice 50 years on. Thats Class. RIP Dame Vera Lynn your voice gave comfort to so many in such dark and bloody worrying times. Fly High Fly Free and sing to those old boys again.

I Am almost 90 and my parents taught me well - I know every song Dame Vera sang - they have passed but I know and still cry my eyes out - they gave our little island so much hope - we won 🌹

Tears in my eyes when I watch this video. When the crowd joins in on “We’ll meet Again” my 82 year old heart dances.

I'm American. I was born six years after the war ended. Yet I'm failing at holding back the tears. The British do this heartfelt national sing-in better than any other nation I've seen. (The Last Night of the Proms comes to mind too.) I never get the feeling of an ulterior political motive behind these expressions of affection by all these people for all the other people who have gathered there. To have Ms. Lynn there as a symbol of national affection and courage only magnifies the connections between generations. So much happiness and love! So much more powerful than the daily complaints we naturally have about each other. It's not possible to have such a live gathering this year without endangering one's fellow citizens. How I wish we could have a billion-person Zoom meeting with everyone reaching their hands out to their neighbors all around the world. Well, we can't do that either, but we can think it, make it real in our hearts, and remember it when we do meet again some sunny day.

She is such a beautiful soul. My Dad was a sailor on the USS Franklin, CV13, and the hope that she brought the men in Great Britain and the States cannot be expressed adequately in words.

I was a little girl during World War 2. I had a friend the same age who would sing for my mother; she had an incredible voice. We were about 10 years old. I remember her singing 'THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER'. She had a disease that was not diagnosed until she was adult, and all her children inherited this. it was Muscular Dystrophy. I always cry when hearing this beautiful song.

RIP The Forces Sweetheart who died today at 103. I'm glad you lived long enough to see the 75th anniversary of VE day and all of the people singing your iconic song We'll Meet Again and i'm sure you loved it. Thanks for entertaining our troops during WW2 and they couldn't have done it without you. It's now time for you to meet them again and entertain them once more up there.

Gee there's not many singers who have retained strength in their voice as Vera did. Just beautiful.

The voice and spirit of hope and love - God bless Vera Lynn

Vera Lynn was an amazing person. Her songs will always with us. The forces sweetheart. Back then she was 78. But she still still sang songs wonderfully. R.I.P. She would be greatly miss forever in our hearts😑😑😑

I arrived in London in 1991. My life changed at the very moment the plane landed in Gatwick that August morning, London gave me everything in those my Golden years of my youth. Lived there 5 years... I became a Londoner AND even though I went back to México, I was to remain a Londoner till the very last day of my life... I was there in one of the Royal parks for the 50 VE celebration... A day I won't ever forget... Thanks London ... Thank you my 1990's UK....

Her voice is even better....wow...impressive

There are tears in my eyes. At hearing the Sad news of Dear Dame very Lynn. at a good age of 103 years of age. Hope there will be a Memorial Service to Dame Vera Lynn as Vera deserves one in Westminster Abbey too

I am a post war baby boomer but I know most of the words to Vera Lynn’s songs. It’s not hard to guess where the people who don’t like this came from. RIP Vera from a Kiwi, the whole world loved you

76 years old Marine USA and she brought me to tears

Still sounds great - she was an inspiration to my dad, United States 3rd Army Engineers, Normandy and Battle of the Bulge vet who married and brought to the US a 5-foot tall Belgian woman who became my mom. RIP all you guys.

Rest in peace Dame Vera Lynn, I’m not old at all and these songs give me a different feeling to any modern song ❤

I am from America and we have NOTHING like her here. Never have and probably never will. She is absolutely amazing!!!!!!

England had the songs of WWII. Churchill had the words to strengthen the people. The songs strengthen the heart. I love them all and tear up when I hear them

She was in her 70’s here and what a great voice she still had!! Such a lovely performer!!! ❤️

She's still the nations sweetheart! My mother and father loved her! Thanks for the memories. Moira From England💐♥

A great lady, she deserves to rest in peace. I think what she did for this country during the war is priceless and can't be measured.

Iconic is Vera Lynn. This voice at 78 years "young." Brilliant.

not only did Vera Lynn have an indestructable voice at 78, good to the very last clarion clear note, but she also knew exactly when it was time to stop...on top ! she never declined in public, never made a spectacle of herself....respect!

This lady puts the Great in Britain.

Happy 102nd birthday, Dame Vera Lynn. Your voice is still an inspiration to all who listened to you, not only during WWII but beyond.

A beautiful voice singing memorable songs. Quite emotional for me, I have a picture of my father on VE Day. He was stationed at Top Cliffe near York in NE England. He is playing the piano with his comrades around. Not a single smile on any face ........... the traumatic and emotional scars were just starting, scars they would carry for life. War is hell.

Not many singers move me to tears instantaneously. She's most definitely one of them.

My mum and dad always said she won the war for us. Both of them were on the battlefront in the dark days. My mum and dad argued most stuff while I was growing after the war. But. if a Vera Lynn song come up on the radio, they stopped arguing.

As someone who likes to listen to music from various generations, nothing pleases me more than a standout vocalist. Vera Lynn has an incredibly unique voice that has left such a historical impact.

Such an inspiration for the British victims of the Nazis, helping to maintain hope while enduring devastating terror from the sky, 24hrs a day... the AirRaid sirens at the end are a hair-raising reminder of incoming Nazi terror. But, then after the war ended, they practically disowned Sr. Winston Churchill, the other great inspiration for British citizens DURING the war--- as an American, I'll never understand.. . RIP Dame Vera Lynn-- that you saved many souls with your songs of hope for the future.

We have lost a piece of British History. I got goosebumps watching this especially when she sang land of hope of hope and glory. It’s a generation we will never have again and that generation is slowly passing away and soon we will be in a Britain that is no longer proud.

Remember I watched this show on tv.. Imagine she also song these songs 50 years earlier for the soldiers... it´s amazing and brings tears in my eyes even I´m only 55 yeras old. But my dad and grandparents remebered these songs and the time.. I have a lot of Veras original recordings on 78`Rpms.. and often listen to them....

Brought a tear to my hard heart. I don't think most of us in the United States realize what England went through in both world wars

Not a single bad word could ever be said about this wonderful lady. Forces sweetheart and the nations sweetheart. May you rest in peace Dame Vera x

this is just adorable. from bad days, she kept the lads spirits up, and I don't think even today she knows how much she meant to them.

thank you darling we will always love you

Today we call them anthoms, songs that get people singing. Queen We will Rock You, Robbie Williams Angels. But when it really comes to someone singing anthems or spirit lifting song then Dame Vera is the original and best with so many. Makes you feel proud that she is ours, English and British.

Rest in peace Dame Vera Lynn, and thank you for the music. You will always be a symbol of hope and liberty for all.

when she gave the biggest grin while starting "We'll meet again" it gave me chills

I’m melted in tears right now.

A tribute to Vera's beautiful, undiminished voice and talent. A tribute to epic spirit of Great Britain as well.

I was there! She was part of my wartime childhood and she means a lot to me!

One of my mom's favorite singers ❤️

This woman deserves a State Funeral if anyone does.

Having waited more than 20 years to see this specific performance once more, all I can say is that it was definitely well worth the wait. There will never be another Dame Vera Lynn. Bravo!

Complete respect for this Lady

Vera Lynn, a British treasure.

She is magnificent..+++++

Her voice was just as powerful as it had been 50 years earlier! My late father would always comment on how she enunciated every word so perfectly. She still does!

I can't believe how well her voice held up in the 50 intervening years. She sounds absolutely amazing.

An English Rose who inspires to this day! Never give in and let's fight the awful virus with Vera singing to us. God Bless everyone....we'll meet again.

Well Dame Vera, I had my own "adventures" in Berkely Square during the 1980's. Thanks to you and the rest of the war effort, I was free to do that. Best wishes to you. I was born just after the War, and your "Bluebirds Over the White Cliffs of Dover" always makes me cry.

My goodness, she is simply excellent! So plain and simple and lovely a voice.

Vera Lynn was amazing, shes still performing in 1995 !

25th March 2019. This made me so emotional with tears in my eyes, I left the land of my birth and heritage in August 1968 to settle in Australia and I have enjoyed a wonderful free life here but this video shows me that my heart and soul are still British although sadly I will never return.

I am crying with joy. So wonderful

She sounds SO wonderful. Her voice is still so pure, strong and beautiful. Just incredible!

The world's most admirable lady and she is 102 in a few days.

Still, today, a nations sweetheart. Dame Vera Lynn, a national treasure and a bloody good singer to boot. I hope when Dame Vera does finally succumb to the next life, this country gives her the send off she deserves. One aligned to royalty.

she just turned 102 yesterday, god bless

THANK YOU You Tube for this video. It brought so many memories of my childhood years, listening to Vera sing on our wireless during the dark times we all endured. I must admit to shedding a few tears hearing that marvellous, familiar voice. Closing my eyes and just listening to her, is still magic. Long may she continue.

The D-Day Darlings do her proper honors, which she so richly deserves. Very nostalgic. My dad was a ball turret gunner in B-17's. He knew all her songs when he came home.

anyone else here after she passed away? r.i.p ✨

What a voice. I cant stop listening to her.

One of the very great morale builders of WW ll and an unmatched voice.

Vera was the heart and soul of 'the time' ..She touched on those spaces which we can only dream of...It was just the time and the human being she was.! When I watch her films, and they makes me happy..When I see her in remembrance shows they make me proud....Those times now are lost in endless passages but Vera will continue to live on for ever! xxxx A statue is planned for her .on the white cliffs of Dover... If you see info on this....support it !

Her voice at this age is amazing

I was there that night and have always had the highest regard for this lovely lady. Must admit though, her songs bring tears to my eyes.

Great to be able to listen to her on a sunny day!, the sky is blue and there's just peace, we owe it all to the lads who fought for this very kind of peace in the UK

I have been situated in Australia since 1959 and have never travelled to my home country in 57 years because of PTSD & Anxiety after serving in the Royal Australian Air force but Vera's songs still bring a tear to my eye, especially 'They'll Always Be An England' I wish you a very lovely and wonderful birthday this year Dame Vera Lynn and everything your heart wishes for. God bless you and thanks for the songs over the years. Lets hope there will always be a Vera Lynn in the hearts of the English people, as there is in mine. Thank you again.

I was actually born VE Day 1945 and have enjoyed this lovely ladies voice all my life.

I had the privileged to work with her at the BBC..t.v. In 1958

Never gets old, never!

I’ve been away from England 50 years and miss it every day, this brought tears to my eyes

I hope to meet this lady one day. What a voice. What sincerity.

My favourite singer.i can see she has respect for the soldiers who fought in the war so emotional!!!

Still absolutely wonderful listening to Vera!

What an amazing performance.

Hard to think that she is 78 in this video! She could pass for someone in her fifies! She also doesn't sound anywhere near 78! She still had such a powerful, yet gentle voice even at this age. God bless her!

Vera Lynn the greatest singer ever/so far....Elvis a distant second

A voice with a smile. So sweet.

Amazing lady ,great romaqntic songs make me cry,,,,so emotional....

God Bless You Vera for ALL you've done not only Britain but for ALL of us ! RIP

God bless this woman. She lived a long, fulfilling life but somehow it still feels like she's left us far too soon. I really do hope that a heaven exists for her to go to, she honestly deserves it. May she rest in peace.

What a voice... great !

Vera Lynn we will meet again

My father was protecting himself under one of the army lorries from a bomb attack when on the radio that was still on , came the beautiful voice of Vera Lynne and he fell in love with her, as did many other forces men I am sure. She really is a national treasure.

What a voice with 78 years and now she's 103. Dame Vera, happy birthday. May the white cliffs of Dover shine over your birthday. And when Corona is over, we will sing it together.

RIP VERA , what memories , what a voice xx

To all who put 22 dislikes here: what do you expect to see here ? Give respect to her, how do you feel and live if you were 102 years old ? Most of us were a little bit lower, a bit weaker and a bit fragile with half her well lived 102 years, at 78 she was capable to sing a whole show with magnificent power and intonation of voice, most of all merely will be capable of to spell some words at 50...

I'm from Dover and when you're far from home Vera Lynn brings you back. Happy Birthday Vera
