Dame Vera Lynn loses brooch given by Field Marshal Montgomery




Dame Vera Lynn, who boosted wartime morale with her popular recordings - lost the distinctive memento during the Remembrance Day service at London's Royal Albert Hall. It had been presented to her at the same venue decades ago by 8th Army commander Monty as thanks for her help with the Second World War effort

    That is really sad I hope someone hands it back if they find it. but of course after those sort of big events they will have had cleaners into to clear up the floors and they will have used industrial vaccuum cleaners so they might not even have seen it amongst the rubbish, I hope someone did find it for her
