		Vera Lynn, born Vera Margaret Welch in 1917, reached the height of her popularity as a singer during World War II.
		Just as many celebrities represent the values of their respective nation in the eyes of the citizenry, many of those living through WWII looked upon Vera Lynn as both a symbol of England's pre-war innocence as well as the collective voice of hope for the country.

	Thatcher in birthday chorus as Vera Lynn turns 90 \| Entertainment \| People \| Reuters
		Lynn, nicknamed the "Forces' sweetheart" who entertained the troops during World War Two, was honored at a small ceremony held at the Imperial War Museum in London where she joined guests in watching a short film about her life.
		Through her songs, Lynn became a symbol of hope for British and Allied soldiers fighting Nazi Germany and the Axis powers, particularly with her rendition of "The White Cliffs of Dover," as the coastal cliffs facing occupied France lay in the shadow of German bombers and the threat of invasion.
		The tall and blonde Lynn was eventually given the title of Dame of the British Empire in 1975, amid disapproval that it had taken 30 years after the end of the war for the symbol of British fortitude to be honored.
