Dame Vera Lynn, most well-known for being a morale-boosting World War Two singer, has died aged 103.
Lynn died on Thursday morning in England (local time) surrounded by her close family.
"The family are deeply saddened to announce the passing of one of Britain's best-loved entertainers at the age of 103", her family said in a statement.
Lynn performed for troops in many countries including India and Burma.
She was loved by the Queen and remembered for her songs We'll Meet Again, The White Cliffs of Dover, A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square and There’ll Always Be an England.
Ahead of the 75th anniversary of the VE Day earlier this year, Lynn spoke of remembering "the brave boys and what they sacrificed for us", the Telegraph reports.
She was born in East Ham, east London on 20 March 1917.
