Dame Vera Lynn celebrated her 103rd birthday on the 20th March 2020 and yet again she is calling for the nation to unite and to find moments of joy in amongst hard times. Dame Vera was the forces sweetheart during the war and for her 103rd birthday her anthem “We’ll Meet again” has been released more than 70 years after its first release. Dame Vera is hoping that people will once again keep smiling and keep singing and says:
‘Music is so good for the soul, and during these hard times we must all help each other to find moments of joy. Keep smiling and keep singing.”

We don’t know what is around the corner but know how important it is for some positivity and for people to join together so hope that the keep smiling message will help us through what will be difficult times over the next weeks and months . Stay safe everyone and remember to pick that phone up or to check on a neighbour. No use saying I haven’t seen you for a week, knock on a door, stick a note through the letterbox or make that phone call. It is easy to assume that everyone is ok!! We are all in this together and need to think of ways that we can all help.
