Sadly a Spitfire fly-past was scrapped due to bad weather.

Dame Vera became known as the "forces' sweetheart" during World War Two for travelling to conflict zones around the world to give morale-boosting performances to British troops.

The lady is held in high esteem by veterans.

Although the planned Spitfire fly-past over the Dover cliffs wasn't possible, supporters of the Dame Vera Lynn's Children's Charity did brave the wind for a birthday party atop the cliffs.

Vera Lynn - Land Of Hope And Glory

The final record played just before midnight on 14th August 1967 on Yorkshires own Pirate Radio Ship, Radio 270 anchored 3 and a half miles off the Scarborough/Bridlington coast during the mid 60s. The Labour Government of the day introduced the Marine Offences Act to silence these wonderful broadcasters which came into force on August 15th 1967. A sad day for broadcasting and for democracy in the UK.
