Vera Lynn, 'We'll Meet Again' singer, dies at 103

Dame Vera Lynn, the endearingly popular “Forces’ Sweetheart” who serenaded British troops abroad during World War II, has died at 103, BBC reports. During the war and long after, Lynn got crowds singing, smiling and crying with sentimental favorites such as 'We’ll Meet Again', and 'The White Cliffs of Dover'. She hosted a wildly popular BBC radio show during the war called 'Sincerely Yours' in which she sent messages to British troops abroad and performed the songs they requested. The half-hour program came on during the highly coveted slot following the Sunday night news. “Winston Churchill was my opening act”, she once said. The NME emphasizes "the most punk thing she ever did" - in 1985 she played an anti-heroin gig at London’s Crystal Palace Bowl with space-rockers and famed psychedelics fans Hawkwind.
