Yes , I remember Vera Lynn during the war years . We had a young 16yr old nanny , 1942/3 with a very pretty voice who used to sing all these songs , so beautifully . Listening again brings such nostalgia , brings a lump in my throat and tears to my eyes . Thank You !!!

[TheSuzy200]

how sweet! i heard she was 92 years old when she released this song!

[GolfTheMagicRabbit]

@TheSuzy200 She wasn't in her 90s when it was originally released, she released it in the 1940s. She is in her 90s now and last year her Greatest Hits album got to number 1 in the album charts.

[AllyssSings]

I cry when I hear this song.

[TheInfiniteTurtle]

[windstorm1000]

a lot of those pictured did not come home--glad the last one did!!

[windstorm1000]

THE song that personifies England's strength at that dark time? I think so

[Bokkster]

Vera, what has become of you?

[nicku1]

I was born 9 years after the war but - Vera - I love you!

[7855waldo]

Boy this is good. Thank you.

[rottedfruit]

Imagine all the stories we don't even know about that happened back then...all that hope, prayers, anticipation, sorro happiness that we cant relate to today...what a different world...your luckey if you get a break pulling out of your driveway or a thank you for holding the door...sad to say the least...

Une chanson pour le 11 novembre interprétée par une artiste hors pair,

A song for November 11th sang by an exceptional artist,

R.I.P. all fallen soldiers

[letsdrinkteaa]

There's something eerie (is eerie the right word to use?) about listening to this song today, because although I have no real evidence, I'm assuming girlfriends, wives, families and everyone, really, must have sang this song at some point, looking forward to the return of their loved ones and families, and there's the families that soldiers never returned to, and it must have been catastrophically devastating. I think it feels eerie because I feel a lot more emotion in this song than before.

[shiona0906]

R.I.P all fallen soldiers Lest We Forget xxxx

[bluetoad2001]

[crazytacostudios]

[misspiccola11]

I wish I grew up in the 40s... minus the war, it would have been awesome! I love the clothes, culture, and music!

[therealjoebloggs]

@misspiccola11 Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, did you enjoy the play?

[Nelsonhojax15]

Mien Fuhur!....I can WALK!!!!!

[lorinajudith77]

[RastamanVibrations91]

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? Remember how she said that we will meet again some sunny day. Vera!! Vera!! What has become of you? Does anybody else in here feel the way i do?

[Indrius]

@RastamanVibrations91 just found this song (from watching Futurama) and now I know what Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) was singing about there!

[choosing2lookeast]

@RastamanVibrations91 She's still around. Age 94. God bless her!

[XPrincess30]

@RastamanVibrations91 <3 that's why i came

[BigDon62]

Many thanks for Vera's bio. Get goose bumps all over when I hear this woman's voice. It's a rare person indeed that can inspire so much in so many at a time of such despair. She continues to inspire in those that seek inspiration, because there is no historical time limit for people that can do that to the people.

[xphoebex146]

always makes me well up, played at my grandads funeral RIP <3

[Nadiacloete]

Fantastic! I was born in 1945, and I grew up with these and her others, always sung at family get togethers. My dad was a musician, and the family would indulge in sing-alongs!! Always ended with "Danny Boy", which an uncle with a brilliant voice, would sing. Party usually ended at that time in tears! This all happened in South Africa, and a few of same uncles had served in North Africa during the war. Things I only learned about growing up! Thanks for this!

[Kinseydsp]

Wow Vera Lynn singing with th Royal Air Force it can't get better.

[HarborGuy]

Canada was still British during WWll that's when this song was popular.......

[skeebo54]

she is the only person who has a gold album for SIX decades in a row!!!

[TheFATMAN813]

VERA! VERA! What has become of you? Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?

[PROkiller16]

@TheFATMAN813 She's still kicking.

[TheOdin12]

allways must think about the days when we sit in houses and shot us down....veterans thumps up...for this wonderful song witch we heard in the tank

[RTSOB1]

Final scenes of "Dr. Strangelove":

Slim Pickens rides the bomb to oblivion...(a blinding flash),,,roll the credits and...

cue the music.

[bonniexweexcat]

love this song i remember i had to sing it for my school concert honestly cant believe how long it took for dame vera lynn to get her recognition

[CONVERTIBLE94]

A beautiful song with such a pleasant melody and of course the lyrics are historical in their world events importance.

[1dougdickens]

wonderful video ... thanks

[PatchesRips]

Gorgeous. Is the man Canadian? I notice the video opens with our pre-1965 flag.

[granako]

@PatchesRips Yes... he was Canadian...

[XxcaptonfalconxX]

@granako thx for the vid................

[johnnyrockintalkin]

@granako such a wonderful picture of the proud couple at the beginning. are they your folks?.....they remind me of mine.....yes, truly the greatest generation.  shame on me, an old hippie. we took all they did for us and all they gave us, for granted......who were we.... the smug ones, that never paid any dues, the ones that just sat back and criticized while they paid the bills........., to be putting them down all those years.........my generation owes their generation a huge,huge apology..

[SmartBlonde250]

This song makes me cry :'(

[IxAMxGODxxxxx]

So this is what roger waters is singing about in that song "Vera". cool

[djmusicjac]

beautiful song

[SerenityKaiba]

I wish we had songs like this for the war going on now. It is really beautiful and hopeful.

[watchmywords]

@SerenityKaiba put this on the end of youtube . com /watch?v=OWsf76wG78g&feature=s­hare Its a proper moving song and slideshow

[Rustina61]

Dedicated to all those who have gone before me. You know who you are. We'll meet again.

[dolfijnenfee]

voor mijn lieve vader moeder en broer aan gene zijde love forever

[machadoneto41]

Every ime I hear this song, tears roll down my face!!!....Thanks a lots!

[BlackhawksRBallin]

I love her voice! It make me happy =)

[rdadal]

I think the story was this recording was made at a train station. The male singers were British troops being sent to Korea.

[skeebo54]

the chap with the earned ribbons is the songwriter Noel Coward,if you don't know hin enter his name in search(above) or Google.

[pandagoth]

I hate people who point out how many people don't like a video, but the one asshole who dislikes this deserves to be punched in the face.



[rich140488hilton]

@pandagoth hi

[drex23100]

I like this song,but I think you would have to have been born before 1930 to really get the most out of it. It is a world war 2 generation thing.

[Rastus074]

@drex23100 I have to disagree with you about that. Those of us who have gone away to war find a lot of meaning in her words.

[TacticsForEverFoxie]

It reminds me Battlefield Forgotten Hope 2 Luttich operation map

Great song

[lionface100]

there will never be another one like her when i play that song even today i get choked up

[lionface100]

it always reminds me of my mum she always used to cry when i played this song

[HydrauIics]

does anybody here remember vera lynn

[goinghomesomeday1]

@HydrauIics Hello there.

Yes, I remember Vera Lynn. In the 1950's my Dad uses to tune into the Home Service of the BBC and it was regularly that you would hear Vera Lynn. She was the sweet-heart of the forces. Many of whom gave their lives without selfishness only thinking of their families and folks at home. God bless them all.

[TheLadyGentleman]

I love this song.

[ilovemilecyrus123]

brilant



[apcchart]

Her most famous song must be "We'll meet again", which was written by Ross Parker and Hughie Charles in 1939 and sung in the movie of the same name, in which Vera starred in 1942. She first sang the song in 1939 while touring with the Ambrose Orchestra. The movie was produced by Ben Henry and his associate, George Formby, pictured on the right. George was a singer and movie actor and comedian in his own right.

[marniedrew]

I always cry when i hear this song. I can imagine the heartbreak of hearing it as you were shipped off to normandy not knowing if you'd be able to keep the promise of meeting again. Tragic... but it gave a light of hope to so many of those boys. **sniff sniff**

[bloempje1618]

I love this song <3

This song was played at my grandfather's funeral <3 R.I.P

[bruzzoastgiustina]

we shall never forget...thank you

[lostviewer]

I always think of "Muppets Go To The Movies" when I hear this

[PhyscoActive1x]

I am devoting this song to my cat who died on sunday. R.I.P zag ilu xx

[winawinxx]

Love the song

[Taramriel]

Bastard Hitler, making all those lovely young couples lose each other!

I can't imagine how much that would have hurt!!

[basquill1]

A really great video, great pictures! Who's the proud chap at the end wearing his campaign medals?

It's lovely that Dame Vera is at No. 1!

[Rampstun]

really nice video:)

[winchesterick]

Good to see Dame Vera at number one!!
