Sad as she was an admirable lady (and a local). But now await the media gush-fest, feeding our collective national obsession with the 2nd World War.

National obsession is a tad harsh I feel, are you saying we should forget then!, we have had some significant anniversaries lately and will in the future so all the more important that we should be kept reminded of the sacrifices made. Dame Vera touched a cord with so many at the time and will always be remembered for the hope she gave to our forces abroad.

RIP Vera.

I think she provided the land for our BB summer camp in Ditchling. RIP

Obsession? Really?

So what kind of a country would we be living in today under the Nazi's?

There would be no BLM marches that's for certain.

RIP Vera, met her a Brighton Races a few years ago, truly a national treasure.

Would be nice if we kept this to a respectful RIP thread and not another political binfest. Thanks chaps.

I think my point is that there'll now be wall to wall coverage and sometimes proportionality goes out of the window. She lived a long and happy life and Dame Vera herself at times felt that she was as an artist almost too associated with the war. Perhaps I just listen to too much radio.

I met her at a charity cricket match at the County ground. She was a lovely person to speak to and took time to talk to me, a young girl, at the time.
