R.I.P. Dame Vera Lynn
, the endearingly popular “Forces’ Sweetheart” who serenaded British troops abroad during World War II, has died at 103.
“The family are deeply saddened to announce the passing of one of Britain’s best-loved entertainers at the age of 103,‘' her family said in a statement. “Dame Vera Lynn, who lived in Ditchling, East Sussex, passed away earlier today, 18 June 2020, surrounded by her close family.”“I was somebody that they could associate with,” she once told The Associated Press. “I was an ordinary girl.”
“When war first started, when it was declared, I thought, ‘Well there goes my career.’ You know, I shall finish up in a factory or the army or somewhere,” she recalled. “You imagined all the theaters closing down, which didn’t happen except when the sirens sounded. And everybody, if they wanted to, they could stay in the theater and the show would go on.”
