Dame Vera Margaret Lynn (eng. Dame Vera Margaret Lynn, nee. Welch (English Welch); March 20, 1917 — June 18, 2020) was an English singer, Dame of the Order of the British Empire (Officer, OBE, 1949, Dame Commander, DBE, 1975), who had great popularity during the Second World War, when she hosted the BBC concert radio program “Sincerely Yours”, addressed to to British servicemen abroad.

Vera Lynn holds at least two historical chart records. On November 15, 1952, three of her songs (“Forget Me Not”, #5, “The Homing Waltz”, #9, “Auf Wiederseh’n Sweetheart”, #10) entered the very first British hit parade published by New Musical Express. And on September 5, 2009, the 92-year-old singer not only became the oldest performer ever to enter the album charts, but also (with the compilation We’ll Meet Again: The Very Best of Vera Lynn) rose to first place.
