Vera Lynn releases a new album

Happy Birthday Dame Vera Lynn!

“The Forces’ Sweetheart”, Dame Vera Lynn, the singer renowned during World War II, will release an album to celebrate her 97th birthday.

After making her stage debut at the age of seven, 2014 sees Dame Vera’s ninth decade in the business, a feat that will be difficult to match and one unique in the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War.

The Ultimate Collection will be released on June 2 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Second World War D-Day landings, which occurs four days later.
