LETTER: Dame Vera and The Queen
The Queen’s Birthday Book will form a huge digital collection of messages, photos and film to mark Her Majesty’s special day on April 21. Anyone can contribute for free by adding their birthday messages and personal stories of meeting The Queen, and they can also share photos and videos of their street parties and celebrations for her official birthday in June.
One of my own special memories is performing for The Queen and other members of the royal family at Her Majesty’s 16th birthday celebrations at Windsor Castle, a night which I hope she remembers as fondly as I do.

I do hope people will join me in wishing Her Majesty a very happy 90th birthday by sharing their messages, photos, drawings and videos, while also helping to raise money for some very deserving causes.
Dame Vera Lynn
