Vera Lynn, ‘We’ll Meet Again’ Singer, Dies at 103

, the iconic British singer best known for her rousing wartime song “We’ll Meet Again,” has died. She was 103.

RaymondArroyo God bless her. She'll get a chance to meet those that never came home. RIP Ms. Lynn.

morgfair 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

W1P Maybe your next gig can pay tribute RIP

Does she have a statue? If not she deserves to have one, immediately!

Sad news. Remembering Eric Morecambe's inspired gag about the Falklands War. 'I knew the situation was serious when I passed Dame Vera Lynn's house and heard her gargling.'

RIP to a legend

We’ll meet again, Some sunny day, In another world

She wasn't just a singer though was she. Vera was the glue that held our nation together in WWII. An East End girl who was one of us, a global icon, a staunch veterans supporter and she provided comfort during Covid 19. Our beautiful angel Dame Vera Lynn.

RIP.

I like Julio Iglesias' version of her iconic song.

She truly did her country proud.

Rest in Peace Dame Vera Lynn.

so sad news!

Gwynstato Terrible sad news RIP Vera 🙏🏻

Till we all meet again.

Sad, but she lived more than a full life. Mission complete, Ms. Lynn. Ironically, many ppl today have heard her through Dr. Strangelove and Roger Water's The Wall.

May all the gods take her upon their wings & give her peace.

😔

This is so sad
