    Happy Birthday Vera Lynn

    100 years old today. Thousands of troops have said she kept them thinking of home during the 39/45 war. She's still going strong, not singing of course but extremely bright with great memories.

    Just watched the BBC2 tribute programme - and WOW, what a star!
    I can 'just' remember my Dad raving about her at the end of WW2 - and also the first time in the latter war years hearing her voice myself on the radio myself -m and I was totally bowled over as to how clear and perfect was her voice - like a bell, crystal clear!
    Watched her entertaining the troops - in Burma - no, or very few, other entertainers would DARE venture there from ENSA, but OUR Vera did - and the lads loved her for it!
    She was the very first English singer to go to number one in the States, in 1952, with Auf Wiedersehen Sweetheart - and also had her own tv shows through the 50's, 60's and 70's, so great was her popularity!
    She's still as sharp as a razor, even at 100, which is absolutely great to know too!
    Congratulations once more to OUR Dame Vera!
