A blessing to know that Dame Vera is still with us.

She’s outlived the generation of 1940 and is seeing what has replaced it.

Always thought that “We’ll Meet Again”, a song encouraging hope for the future, was misused in Dr. Strangelove as a backdrop for nuclear explosions symbolizing the end of the world by doomsday machine.

Ironically, all those atomic tests resulted in the uneasy peace of the Cold War, which lasted until the fall of the Soviet Union.

All very good points. I liked the irony of Kubrick using that song as theme for the end of the world. But I’m sure it strikes many differently. Dame Vera is the last of a generation of British patriots and should rest, when the time comes, in Westminster Cathedral.
