    In the difficult times in which we live, it is heartening to hear the voice of one who buoyed up British morale when all seemed nearly lost in World War II. Ms Lynn and her confident voice is a tonic for any time of distress.

    I'm a 17 year old high school student and Vera Lynn is easily my favorite singer. She was and is such a profound symbol of hope, grace, and kindness. I'm sitting in class, fighting tears just from her powerful and emotional voice. She is such an incredible human being and she deserves a state funeral. Much love to Dame Vera Lynn.

      I’m 17 year old too, I am Brazilian! I love Vera Lynn, her voice and all songs! For me her version of all music is better than the originals, her version for “My Way” and “Let me try again” is better than Frank Sinatra. I like Doris Day, Bing Crosby and Frank, but Vera is the number one in my heart!
      Her version from “What a wonderful world” is very amazing too!

    I lived all through WW11, and can remember much of it from 1943 on. As an American kid, I had never heard of Vera Lynn until many years later when I was an adult. What a fabulous lady she was then, and still is. She helped the British people get through some really, really bad times, and all freedom loving people should salute her for her dedication and courage.
    But even as a little kid, I heard my folks playing their radio, and often there was a woman singing my favorite WW11 song: THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER. I don't know if it was Vera Lynn or Kate Smith singing, but I can still, to this day, remember it being sung. That song is my most vivid recollection of those long gone, wonderful AND terrible days. God Bless you, Dame Vera: There'll never be another like you (although Katherine Jenkins comes pretty close).
    I'm not familiar with British award medals, but isn't Dame Vera wearing THE VICTORIA CROSS? Perhaps one of you Brits can clarify this for me.
