overtaking  U2, the Stone Roses and Eminem.  Dame Vera Lynn storms into the top 20 with her CD of timeless tunes

The forces sweetheart kept up the spirits of millions of Britons with her songs and personality during the Second World War.
--
She travelled thousands of miles, often at considerable personal risk, to entertain troops.

She also had a BBC radio show on which she performed songs such as We'll Meet Again, I'll Be Seeing You, Wishing, and If Only I Had Wings.

Earlier this year, speaking of her role during the war she said: 'My songs reminded the boys of what they were really fighting for. 'Precious personal things rather than ideologies. I brought home a little nearer for them.'

On September 14 of this year, she celebrated with champagne after becoming the oldest ever recording artist to top the album charts.

Still a beauty at 92, she even gives beauty  tips.

Hats off to a remarkable woman.
