Y'wot?! I took an ancestry dna test and I had over 20,000 matches, many of which proves that my ancestry on paper is not as "clean" as it seems. Many Brits in centuries past have hidden countless sexual flings, affairs and more secrets right to their grave until today, where I've come to realise the nationalistic fervor is nothing but a cover.

I still have my VE Day stuff up

I remember my late mum telling me of when she was a child going to the railway station in Newcastle to see her father off to war. Her father was a 39 year old career solder who had joined the RAMC as a boy - it was 1939/40 and the British Army was moving to France. He was later evacuated from Dunkirk and survived the war rank Captain. My mum spoke of how the train station was filled with thousands of troops and after emotion had prevented her from speaking more, I realised she was trying to tell me that the soldiers had all began to sing.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

I'm not crying.... you're crying. 😭😭😭 👏👏👏

Great admiration for the Britz, greatest ally the U.S. has

Absolutely brilliant performance and very moving.

They say Britain is the United States' mother country. "Love you, Mom!"

beautiful. you can see why this song got our parents & grandparent through the ugliness of the war can you?

I have always loved this song,and Dame Vera, it makes me think of the sacrifices my parents generation went through. You have given it an added meaning of hope for these tough times. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic, very heart lifting for times present, and respectful to times past. Thank you.

Simply beautiful and thank you from another American. Britain was the calm in the storm before the US joined the worldwide conflict. This was played at my Grandfather's funeral a number of years ago. His Squadron stationed near an RAF base in England and later Northern Ireland before and after he went to North Africa. He had many fond words for the tenacious, strong, and optimistic Brits.
