Dame Vera Lynn is a true star
When I was 16 years old, I was employed by Woolworths in Fawcett Street, Sunderland. It was going to be a very exciting day for staff and customers as we were waiting for a visit from Dame Vera.
A piano was placed in the store at the bottom of the stairs, along with her sheet music.

Good memories of bygone days. She will always be remembered by the older generation.
