Dame Vera Lynn, the singer known during the Second World War as the Forces Sweetheart, has died at the age of 103.

Dame Vera sold more than a million records by the time she was 22, but six weeks ago with the 75th anniversary of VE Day in lockdown she became the oldest artist to get a top 40 album in the UK.

She was an inspiration to many, including the opera singer Lesley Garrett, who tells Sarah Montague
about her remarkable legacy.
