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

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

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

This lady puts the Great in Britain.

What a voice...what a woman!!

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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 🌹

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.

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

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!

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😑😑😑

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.

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....

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.

This woman deserves a State Funeral if anyone does.

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

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.

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

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.

76 years old Marine USA and she brought me to tears

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

she just turned 102 yesterday, god bless

Vera Lynn, a British treasure.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

A real British treasure. Happy 100th birthday, Dame Vera.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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.

One of my mom's favorite singers ❤️

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.

God bless her. 100 years old now. She devoted her life to charity, helping children and servicemen. A wonderful lady :)

How many 79 year olds can still perform, and with undiminished voice

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

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

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.

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

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

I sing at assisted and memorie care facilities and these are the songs that I sing for my senior citizens

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

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

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!

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...

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

Never gets old, never!

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

Happy 100th Birthday to a beautiful lady Dame Vera

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

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

Churchill and Vera expressed in words and songs the Brittish stubborness and their wish to allways have their TEA in peace. :-)

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.

I was born 1949 but I admire and love Dame Vera Lynn. What a Lady, never be another like her. Thank you - Anna

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

Such a shame we can’t celebrate in style this year to commemorate VE Day, but hopefully all the people who contributed to the effort still know we are eternally grateful to them.

Vera is a national treasure.

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.

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.

What can I say? I was born in 1970. I had a grandmother born in Leith Docks who worked in a Birmingham munitions factory & contracted cancer from the chemicals, & a grandfather on my other side who contracted gangrene in Africa. MY people NEVER said no! No matter where in our Empire, OUR people came. I have said this for years & got abuse: from the bottom of my heart, I thank both the Empire & OUR commonwealth of Nations.

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

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

My dad always sang this song. He was 15 during the war and had been evacuated to the countryside while my Nan stayed in London and worked in an ammunitions factory. My dad came home to find his house was gone and yet he always said that the war years were the best..because of how the people stuck together and took care of one another!

I love the child who is looking up at Dame Vera as she holds his hand.

2019 - Still our Dame Vera XX

A truly remarkable lady. The original Forces sweetheart. Wishing the 1 and only Dame Vera Lynn a very happy 100th birthday for this coming Monday.

LISTENING MOVES ME TO TEARS SHE SUMS UP EVERYTHING GREAT ABOUT THE BRITISH AS CHURCHILL DID

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.

RIP. State funerals for Dame Vera Lynn.

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.

Complete respect for this Lady

She was sent to us from Almighty God to sing, to sing, and bring love to the wearied of heart and soul and a promise to us all for freedom. I love her voice as the best I have ever heard in my lifetime.

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

God bless her a voice for all those who served.

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.

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

100 today Dame Vera, So glad it happened, After so many celebrity deaths and memorable people also passing, it's good to know The Dame who kept our soldiers soldiering on, still soldiers with them.

The world is lucky to have a person like Dame Vera Lynn still in it, with a powerful voice to remind us of the past. The passion, emotion, and strength in her voice aways bring a wistful tear to my eye as I feel a sense of pride and common good with all of her songs. Even though I am American and not that aware of her influence in WWII, until recently, I appreciate her steadfast support of British troops especially during that horrid time of German bombs reigning down on the innocent families of London starting in 1939. My Dad, now deceased, was one year older than Dame Vera and a veteran of WWII. I saw a video display on KZfaq of Dame stalwarts projecting the British flag, then Vera Lynn's picture onto the White Cliffs of Dover from the sea in honor of her birthday on March 20, 2017. That was a STAND-UP thing to do. May God Bless you Dame Vera and keep you with us for many more years.

I’m melted in tears right now.

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.

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.
