LONDON World War II-era aircraft flew over the late singer Vera Lynns village in southeastern England on Friday, offering a final tribute to the Forces Sweetheart who buoyed the morale of Britain during the conflict and beyond. The planes flew past Lynn's beloved village of Ditchling, where crowds lined the narrow streets to pay tribute to her before a private funeral. Members of the military walked alongside, offering a guard of honor as the cortege passed. Lynn, who serenaded the nation with sentimental favorites such as Well Meet Again and The White Cliffs of Dover, died June 18. Ahead of the day, a giant portrait of Lynn was beamed onto the White Cliffs of Dover to commemorate her life.
