Dame Vera Lynn has announced plans for a new album on her 97th birthday.
The album called 'Vera Lynn: National Treasure - The Ultimate Collection' will feature a selection of unreleased recordings, and will also include singer's best known songs 'We'll Meet Again' and 'The White Cliffs Of Dover', the BBC reported.
The year marks the veteran singer's 90th year in show business and the release date is set for June 2, which marks the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings which occurs four days later.
Lynn said in a statement that she thinks it's wonderful that her songs are still enjoyed, especially if it encourages people to commemorate what happened 70 years ago.
The singer was enormously popular during the Second World War, and was heard over the airwaves by millions.
