, the iconic British singer best known for her rousing wartime song “We’ll Meet Again,” has died. She was 103.
The song was also reference by Queen Elizabeth II during her April coronavirus address, when she assured the nation that, “We will be with our friends again. We will be with our families again. We will meet again.” Lynn knew the Queen personally and performed for her at Buckingham Palace in 1995. On Thursday, within an hour of the announcement of her death, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson paid his respects to the singer, tweeting, “Dame Vera Lynn’s charm and magical voice entranced and uplifted our country in some of our darkest hours. Her voice will live on to lift the hearts of generations to come.”
During the war, Lynn also appeared in the 1942 film “We’ll Meet Again,” in which she played an entertainer. Upon joining the Entertainment National Services Association in 1944, she traveled to Egypt, India and Myanmar, performing for troops.
