She always loved having flowers around her and was a keen gardener for many decades. Virginia Lewis-Jones, Dame VeraвЂ™s daughter, said: вЂњMy mother would be absolutely delighted to have the wildflower meadow named after her, especially as she proactively supported the National TrustвЂ™s campaign to protect the landscape back in 2017. The wheat field, which was part of the purchase, is now being returned to its original grassland state and is already filled with wildflowers, including ox-eye daisy, wild carrot and viperвЂ™s bugloss, and attracting corn buntings and skylarks, the nationвЂ™s songbird.Дover District Council meanwhile has renamed the footpath leading from the seafront to the White Cliffs as вЂDame Vera Lynn WayвЂ™ with a new sign featuring the opening line of her famous song, вЂњThereвЂ™ll be bluebirds over, The White Cliffs of Dover, Tomorrow, Just you wait and see.вЂќ In 2017, she lent her support to a ВЈ1million fundraising campaign by the National Trust to buy 178 acres of arable land on the clifftops. Long associated with the chalk cliffs, Dame Vera LynnвЂ™s famous songs gave hope to a country at war, with lyrics including вЂthere will be bluebirds over the White Cliffs of DoverвЂ™ and вЂthe valley will bloom againвЂ™. A footpath leading to the clifftops was also renamed in her honour by Dover District Council. The Trust, which bought the land in 2017, unveiled the newly-named вЂDame Vera Lynn DownвЂ™ at a ceremony yesterday to pay tribute to the wartime singer and her enduring connection with the landscape.

This set a new record in the history of music, making the performer the only recording artist in the world to have spanned the pop charts from the 1940s to the 21st century. Having originally recorded for Decca Records over 80 years ago at the age of 22, just 10 years ago, whilst in her early 90s, Dame Vera became the oldest living artist to land a UK No1 album. She remains perhaps the most beloved of all British female vocalists, topping the charts countless times. Full song with lyrics projected onto the cliffДЇamously boosting the nationвЂ™s morale during the darkest days of World War Two, over the decades Vera LynnвЂ™s popularity has never waned. The projection onto the 350ft cliffs was visible to ships passing through the channel, as well as passing planes, and on land it could be seen from the main road and the back gardens of local residents. Now, for the very first time, the poignant lyrics of Dame Vera LynnвЂ™s beloved theme song, WeвЂ™ll Meet Again, also appeared on the white cliffs, as the music drifted across the sea and into the night. The first occasion was to celebrate her 100th birthday in 2017. The white chalk face of those cliffs once again provided the perfect, and most spectacular, backdrop to a portrait of one of the most recognisable and inspiring singers in British history. Vera LynnвЂ™s name has been so strongly associated with the world-famous cliffs since they were immortalised by her distinctive voice in the song, named after the stunning natural landmark of Dover in Kent which became the biggest-selling single in the UK for a month in the summer of 1942, and still resonates today. To mark the sad occasion of the funeral of Dame Vera Lynn this week, a new illustration was projected onto the iconic White Cliffs of Dover to honour the life of the ForcesвЂ™ Sweetheart, who passed away on June 18 at the age of 103.
