We won't meet again

[johnr]

Vera Lynn has died.

[NHH]

Great. More fucking wallowing and drowning in WW2 nostalgia.

?

[Fussbudget]

When I read that title I thought the queen had died.

[Jah Womble]

'Anybody got any Veras?'

RIP, DVL.

[elguapo4]

There'll be few tears shed in the Bogside of Derry, because of her defence of the Paras after Bloody Sunday.

[Sean of the Shed]

Inevitable thread title, unless you wanted to go with "The white stiff of Dover"? Probably not

[Stumpy Pepys]

The most interesting thing about We'll Meet Again was that it was performed on a Hammond Novachord, arguably the world's first synthesizer.

Every time I see Lynn's name anywhere, I'm reminded of a Ken Dodd joke made during the build-up to the 1990 Gulf War - 'There's going to be a war, y'know - I walked past Vera Lynn's house the other day and heard gargling...'.

Dress rehearsal innit?

@elguapo: I won't claim to be a spokesman for inner city Nationalist NI, but isn't glazed indifference the likely reaction?

[Jah Womble]

Dame Vera doesn't look too comfortable in Bob Calvert's grasp there...

...or is it Dave Brock?

[Nocturnal Submission]

It's Brock, I'd say.

That's quite a grip he's got on her.

[Stumpy Pepys]

It's Brock, I'd say.

That's quite a grip he's got on her.

He looks like Diana Rigg in Theatre of Blood.

[slackster]

Definitely Brock. That Hawkwind gig tale could have only been bettered if Vera had belted out guest vocals on You Shouldn’t Do That whilst joining Stacia front stage in a state of undress.

Never realised she was an East Ham lass either.

[Duncan Gardner]

Well meet again to bring the house down?

[pebblethefish]

The bloke with the hat on looks like he's got really short arms.

[Jah Womble]

That'll be the legend that is Dave Hill.

Dame Vera has by far the shortest hair, though.

(Edit: Is anyone else getting a really strange effect that makes her blouse look pale yellow?)

[Nocturnal Submission]

Definitely Brock. That Hawkwind gig tale could have only been bettered if Vera had belted out guest vocals on You Shouldn’t Do That whilst joining Stacia front stage in a state of undress.

TBH I'd have thought that Hawkwind would be keeping a low profile today after the cock-up they made in yesterday's Villa-Blades game.

My mate Caroline was a promoter for the gig so got to meet Dame V (and interview Spike Milligan). She was led on by Lemmy.
