She is 102 years old.

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day?
Vera, Vera
What has become of you
Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do?

Songwriters: Roger Waters

...and she sang at the end of Dr. Strangelove when the atom bomb blew up the world.
