Hello folks.
Some terrible news this morning. The family of Dame Vera Lynn have confirmed that she passed away earlier this morning, aged 103. I'm sure I don't need to explain the importance of the 'Forces Sweetheart' in lifting the nation's spirit in our darkest hour, as well as her charity contributions in the years after the war, up to the present day.
We knew this day would come at some point, as it will for all the surviving members of the Greatest Generation, but it is no less of a shock. We have lost a British icon today, the purest embodiment of the 'Blitz Spirit'.
