charon 4,943 Posted June 12, 2016 She's on Radio Four this morning reviewing the Queen's top ten musical favourites Not going anywhere soon by the sound of it Heard her. Sounded like a lucid 70 year old. One to avoid imo for the foreseeable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,642 Posted August 16, 2016 Gave a gutsy, well informed and thoughtful interview to Radio Four today on a news topic - closure of RBL women's branches - that was an unfolding story. She's on the ball and likely to see 100 IMHO. Be interesting to know if any soldiers -past or present - are still knocking one out to her. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weebl 216 Posted August 24, 2016 Personally I think she should come out of musical retirement to do a one-off duet with Aloe Blacc of "I Need a Dollar" fame. Think about it - they could call themselves Aloe Vera! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be interesting to see if HRH Liz2 goes to the funeral. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about Liz and Phil the Greek pop round to deliver the 100th birthday telegram. The shock surprise makes Vera keel over, Phil laughs so much he chokes on a vol-au-vent and then Liz leads the press corps in a rendition of We'll Meet Again. Just a thought.

SandyBeaches 13 Posted January 16, 2017 I was watching the national news tonight with the volume on low, Vera Lynn appears and I thought - "Yes - she's dead!" and assumed that she was deathlist's first death of 2017. Then realized it was to inform us there was to be a 100th birthday celebration of her life. I felt kind of disappointed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
