Sad to hear of the passing of Dame Vera Lynn. I close my eyes and see my gran singing along to her wonderful wartime songs with a smile of nostalgia beaming across her face. The’d tell stories of hardship but true comradeship & fun they had during those days.

Just heard the sad news that national treasure Dame Vera Lynn has left us aged 103. ‘Dame V’ kindly wrote the foreword to my ‘Fighter Pilot: The Photographic Kaleidoscope’ in 2001, and wrote to me often. RIP to a wartime icon.
