Dame Vera Lynn, the Forces sweetheart, has died aged 103. The Royal British Legion described her as "an unforgettable British icon" and a "symbol of hope to the Armed Forces community past and present".
Speaker of the House of Commons Lindsay Hoyle said she was a "hero" who captured the "sense of longing felt by so many during our darkest hour", while Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said she "lifted our nation and its Armed Forces in their moment of maximum peril".
