She remained popular after The War, appearing on radio and television in The UK and The US and recording such hits as "Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart" and her UK Number one single "My Son, My Son". Her last single, "I Love This Land", was released to mark the end of The Falklands War. In 2009, at age 92, she became the oldest living artist to make it to No. 1 on The UK Albums Chart.
"Now Is The Hour".
She has devoted much time and energy to Charity Work connected with Ex-Servicemen, Disabled Children, and Breast Cancer. She is still held in great affection by Soldiers of The Second World War and in 2000 was named the Briton who best exemplified The Spirit of The 20th-Century.
