A friend dragged her away, saying: “You can’t speak to the Queen like that�. To which Beryl replied: “I thought she was Vera Lynn.�

I was a blitz kid in London during WW2 and Vera Lynn had a great influence on my life and singing career (amateur). I have lived in Israel since 1951. She is very well known among older Israelis. Some ten years ago I founded a vocal quartet. (Nostalgia Singers.) All of us are in our late seventies and of British birth. Our repertoire is largely based on Vera Lynn's wartime songs.
Could someone please inform me of her health situation as she reaches her 90th birthday.

Many thanks for your note. To the best of my knowledge, Vera Lynn is still doing very well.
