VERA LYNN FIGHTING FOR DOVER
DAME VERA LYNN braved biting winds to help launch a campaign on Saturday (30Oct10) to save Britain’s port of Dover from purchase by foreign investors.
The veteran British singer turned up to the port in south-east England to show her support for locals, who fear the U.K. government will sell it to the highest bidder.
Referring to her hit the White Cliffs of Dover, she told the crowd, "At least we have blue skies, but I’m desperately looking for a blue bird. It is a symbol of happiness and you should continue to call this beautiful place your own. It should continue to be your own.
"Good luck to you all in ensuring it stays that way."
