ESTHER Rantzen has paid tribute to her friend Dame Vera Lynn today after her death at 103. The TV presenter, 79, appeared on This Morning after the singer's family announced she had sadly passed away after living an incredible life.
Esther told viewers how Dame Vera became the forces' sweetheart who kept the UK's morale up in World War Two. Dame Vera soon went on to become a national hero with hits such as We'll Meet Again and White Cliffs of Dover.
In April, the Queen made a reference to Dame Vera's songs in her address to the nation about coronavirus lockdown, saying 'we will meet again'.
