It was the year food rationing officially ended in the UK and Elvis began his music career that the Forces' Sweetheart, Dame Vera Lynn, last topped the charts.
But 55 years later, at the age of 92, she has done it again, hitting No 1 in the album charts last night with her offering We'll Meet Again: The Very Best of Vera Lynn and usurping Bob Dylan, 68, as the oldest artist to grace the top spot.
92 and still beat the beatles to no1.
