Article says he may well hold the record for the quickest ever sending off after 2 minutes, I thought that was held by Adrian Morley at 33 seconds?

Saintslass Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Vera Lynn. It is amazing that We'll Meet Again endured so well that it became an anthem for the lockdown just a few weeks ago in the way it became an anthem for WW2 all those decades ago. I am glad she lived long enough to resonate with today's generation in the way she did with my parents' generation. She seemed to have had a good and meaningful life. May she rest in peace and her loved ones find comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP When asked would she go and entertain the troops, she asked to go somewhere else other than Europe as they had plenty of entertainment supplied. They suggested Burmah as they got absolutely nobody out there, so she agreed and off she went. That is something that has stuck out, she didn't want the easy gig.
