Dame Vera Lynn has been laid to rest today, with her funeral taking place in Ditchling in East Sussex. The funeral was marked as two Spitfires flew over the funeral procession at midday.
We're were so devastated to announce last month that Forces sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn has died aged 103.
The singer's family confirmed she died on Thursday morning surrounded by her close relatives.
"The family are deeply saddened to announce the passing of one of Britain's best-loved entertainers at the age of 103," a statement said.
Dame Vera of course was most famous for the iconic song 'We'll Meet Again'.
Dame Vera was born in London in 1917 and was made famous across the nation after she helped to boost morale and raise spirits during the war. She was also remembered for singing The White Cliffs Of Dover, There'll Always Be An England, I'll Be Seeing You and Wishing and If Only I Had Wings to name a few.
The Forces' sweetheart with a heart of gold who dedicated her life to helping servicemen, as well as acting as an ambassador for many charities, was awarded with the Companion of Honour to the Queen – one of the rarest decorations around, aged 99.
Dame Vera’s admission to the Order was announced in the 2016 Queen's Birthday Honours list, which recognised the nonagenarian old singer for her services to entertainment and charity over nearly eight decades.
Of course this wasn't the first time she was recognised by the Queen, she was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1969 and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1975.
It's fair to say Dame Vera will be missed and remembered by many. Here are just a few messages from her famous fans.

Dame Vera Lynn on reaching 100
Despite reaching the grand age of 103, the iconic singer never showed any signs of slowing down. She celebrated her 100th birthday by releasing an album!
Back when it was released three years ago, she told the BBC: "It's truly humbling that people still enjoy these songs from so many years ago, reliving the emotions of that time - I was after all just doing my job as a singer - and it's so wonderful for me to hear my songs again so beautifully presented in a completely new way."
Not only that, but she marked her centenary with a concert at the London Palladium to raise money for her children's charity. She described turning 100 as "an incredible adventure of song, dance and friendship".
