Queen will address nation on VE Day anniversary before public singalong of
"We'll Meet Again."
This is fantastic news. I must confess I had thought Her Majesty was being a little disingenuous when she last addressed us but this has changed my mind. Berni said that she possesses a preternatural ability to gauge the mood of her subjects and this is proof.
Why I'll even go so far as to say that even a caustic old cynic like b will be standing on his doorstep come VE day and will join in with what will be a deeply emotional moment for our Kingdom. I suspect that when the song reaches its poignant chorus, "Won't you please say hello, to the folks that I know" a manly tear will escape even Berni's rather life-jaundiced eye.
God bless Her Majesty!
You'll sing along with Her Majesty though Berni surely? Do you suppose we'll have

I still can't quite believe Dame Vera Lynn is still knocking about, though. It's kept her in fishfingers all these years, I imagine.
to change the words slighty?
One'll meet again
don't know weer, don't know win?
I'll be lonely and blue
I'll be waving at you
from my castle near Slough
