Place you a fiver that whoever is doing the Covid briefing today mentions her....  'the Nation's Dead Cat'.

Will it be in the same breath that they mention that Dover's White Cliffs will always be white?

Poor lass!  She had a great voice and cheered up a lot of people with it. RIP.

I think my mother liked her (she liked anything inoffensive).

Her compilation album We'll Meet Again: The Very Best of Vera Lynn entered the chart at number 20 on 30 August, and then climbed to number 2 the following week before reaching the top position...

...With this achievement, she surpassed Bob Dylan as the oldest artist to have a number one album in the UK. [Wikipedia]

Dominic Raab will be displaying his ornithological knowledge.

I think it was Clive James in The Crystal Bucket who noted that Vera Lynn was a groundbreaker in that her singing voice gave absolutely no clue as the social class of the singer.
