About
National Treasure. The Ultimate Collection: A special collector’s 70th D-Day anniversary edition.
Featuring previously unreleased bonus tracks, re-mastered recordings & a brand new duet version of We’ll Meet Again with Katherine Jenkins. Including The White Cliffs of Dover, Auf Wiedersehen Sweetheart, A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square & many more.
On 20th March 2014 the original “Forces' Sweetheart”, Dame Vera Lynn, celebrated her 97th birthday by announcing the forthcoming release of a new album, 'Vera Lynn: National Treasure – The Ultimate Collection'.
The new album will be released on 2nd June to mark the 70th anniversary of the World War II D-Day Landings (6th June) and will feature not only her most memorable and morale-boosting hits that sustained Britons through the wartime years, but some previously unreleased tracks, recently discovered by her daughter Virginia.
Dame Vera commented “I think it’s wonderful that my songs are still enjoyed, especially if it encourages people to commemorate what happened seventy years ago. It’s moving for me to relive those days, and humbling to know that people still think of me – after all, it was simply my duty to keep singing”
