Sad news,but she had a very long and i presume comfortable life,so she couldn't have asked for more.

An iconic lady, she did much to bolster the spirits of the nation during the dark days of the war.

 

[Drago]

A genuine bona fide national treasure. She will be missed.

Got one of her cd's.It is brilliant.I think it outsold The Beatles when it was released.It was also a bargain.There is a sort of odds and ends music shop near my fave cafe in Otley.It was in the £2 everything basket,a bargain.R.I.P lovely lady,thanks for entertaining the troops.

Every time I rode through Ditchling, on the L2B, I wondered if I'd see her standing in the crowd.

RIP

What do you mean: " Taken too soon" ? She was 103 ! To me that is a good age that most people will never reach. She had a good , comfortable life and no one lives for ever, so I think she was fortunate to live that long. RIP.

^^^ There may have been a hint of irony in @Beebo's comments. Nover take anything that a Brit says at face value is my top tip for today, @gavroche.

Sad news.

I think that the parachute jump was at best unwise

Her brother lived to 102, so a healthy family with good genes by the look of it.
