<br />
An exhibition dedicated to the life and career of Dame Vera Lynn that includes previously unseen letters, photos and art work by her has been launched. <br />
<br />
The wide ranging exhibition also contains sweeping dresses the 'Forces Sweetheart' wore on stage and a top secret order from King George VI instructing her to perform at the then Princess Elizabeth II's 16th birthday in 1942.<br />
<br />
Dame Vera, who died in 2020 aged 103, was also a keen artist and some of the most eye-catching exhibits are 20 never-before-seen paintings the wartime singer produced.
