98. (There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover

Wed Aug 6, 2025, 12:59 AM

Aug 2025

Sung by Vera Lynn. With her version of "We'll Meet Again", they were the heart of British WWII remembrances. At D-Day and VE Day anniversaries, Lynn herself sang these numbers at the end of the comemorations until she was well into her 80s.

Had trouble getting the link to work. Just search on:

Vera Lynn 1984
