    Just announced, she's passed away, aged 103. Sad loss to this country.

    A lovely woman who had every reason to be a diva, but never was.

    I doubt there'll ever be another.

    RIP ...

    Her death is a milestone and a reminder that there are not many WW2 veterans left. The chance to be able to hear first hand accounts is dying out. Makes me feel emotional.

    A true icon from her era they don't make them like that anymore.
    RIP Vera, here's hoping we don't meet again anytime soon.

    A genuine UK legend (imho the term is ridiculously overused).

    RIP Dame Vera! I totally misread the OP and thought it said "Dame Vera Lynn just announced she's passed away!" <doh> took about 4 times of reading to understand it properly! (I am tired!!)
