Dame Vera Lynn now 92 years old………………….ninety-two years old, 
can you believe this, she was just a kid a few years ago 
when we used to listen to her ‘Sincerely Yours Vera Lynn’ 
programmes on the BBC. 
Her book called “Some Sunny Day” named of course after
one of her great songs is published by HarperCollins 
and gives a full account of her long life singing for 
us and our fighting men and women all over the world 
up to just a few years ago. An amazing woman with a 
voice to match that has been so much part of our lives 
in peacetime and in war when we were in deadly peril.

This book will be full or historical facts I’m sure 
and will be as enjoyable if not more so than the book 
published in 2002 called ‘We’ll Meet Again’.
