This delightful documentary sees Dame Vera Lynn and daughter Virginia take a trip down memory lane as she reaches her 100th birthday.

Using family archives and old footage, the Forces' Sweetheart reminisces about her life and career, starting with her first stage appearance, aged seven, to becoming the oldest artist to reach No 1 in the UK Album Charts in 2009.

Famous faces paying tribute include Paul McCartney, Barry Humphries and Miriam Margolyes but it's the World War Two veterans who steal the show as they reveal why We'll Meet Again and The White Cliffs of Dover mean so much to them.
