Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Dame Vera Lynn, DBE (20 March 1917 - 18 June 2020), was, quite simply, the original, iconic Glamorous Wartime Singer. Known as "The Forces' Sweetheart", she hosted a radio programme, Sincerely Yours, during World War II, and songs like "There'll Always Be An England", "We'll Meet Again", and "The White Cliffs of Dover" still evoke The Home Front all over the world. Her hopeful, yearning ballads perfectly captured the spirit of the boys overseas, and she became a symbol of what those lonely men were fighting for. |
