Deathrace 1,166 Posted July 8, 2019 To be fair she's 102. Simply to be able to go outside and wave at that age is an achievement. I think she looks better than Kirk but could go at any time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,957 Posted July 8, 2019 Her legs remind me a bit of that one picture of Sri Sri near the end of his life where his feet were super bloated. Granted, she doesn't look nearly as poorly as Sri Sri did in his final few years, but very very few people look that bad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh it's very hard to be sure to be honest!I wouldn't assume that Vera Lynn necessarily voted for brexit.Its easy to think of reasons why she may have done but it is far from a dead cert shall we say!
