During Operation Torch in WWII, my uncle served with the US 5th Army, fought alongside courageous Brits in North Africa. It was there he first heard the melancholy music of Vera Lynn. He remembers her songs resonating with the soldiers, sailors, airmen and nurses going off to war, those praying for them on the home front, and to those all over the world who experienced the the loss and devastation of the war years. Here in America we remain eternally grateful for their courage and for their sacrifice. Thank you.
Thank you so much Katherine and my hero dame Vera. Cried all the way through, for my daughter and granddaughter who I haven't seen since 19th march. For my daughter working as a nurse right now on her ward, for my mum a land girl who died last year, for every person who lived through the war and for the world now and everyone in it. God bless everyone. We'll meet again x
liz Davies Bless you. My mum was a land girl too. That was in New Zealand and she was working with horses (of which she was terrified) and my grandfather (who could also be rather terrifying). Nowadays during the Covid-19 lock down we would call them "essential ii Al services". Well we do in New Zealand. And we honour their bravery and courage in what my cousin,a nurse calls World War III.
Lovely performance. My father who passed away just over 2 months ago would have loved this. As he was declining in health he was comforted by the music of the WWII era, especially the songs sung by Vera Lynn. Made me cry to listen and think of him. My heart goes out to all who are grieving with loss, no matter where or when.
Never listened to Katherine Jenkins before. What a beautiful lady with an incredible voice! My Mum and Dad met in the Air force during the War where my Dad was an RAF pilot and navigator. They would have loved this concert.
Oh Katherine, what bravery to sing to an empty auditorium and how stunning is your music. We are watching from South Africa. With love Chris and Lorna Everett
Beautiful. We were welling up with tears. Somewhere over the Rainbow. Jealous of the Angels. White Cliffs of Dover. We'll meet again. Jerusalem. A great mix of nostalgia, wartime memories and patriotism. A fitting tribute and what we need right now
the lyrics of the first line of 'we'll meet again' are grammatically slovenly & incorrect; ''we'll meet agen, don't know where, don't know when'', should read ''we'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when'', or could be rewritten, ''we'll meet again, when the joy follows pain,''
Katherine Jenkins is gifted and one of my all-time favourites. Enjoyed that performance. How my parent's wud have loved to hear her sing.Thanks from India.
Great gesture by a magnificent star to show her sincerity in this unprecedented crisis.Albert Hall with Katherine and a full audience was very different when I saw her there in December 2019 but her voice is always as good wherever she performs. Best wishes to Katherine and her family and all involved in this performance to brighten our days. Richard
There is a need to somehow clap to show just how much we appreciate the signing of Katherine Jenkins and the work put in by many to create this production. A like does not do it justice.
Roger Thomas I sort of know what you mean Roger. For me applause after a soulful experience like this is quite an ugly sound. My guess is those of us writing here are trying to express exactly what you said"A like does not do it justice"
You so correct Roger. At least for now we can comment and they can have a more personal feeling of appreciation with comments we gave them. This was outstanding and feel so privileged to also join in from miles away. God Bless and stay safe 🌷🌷🌷
We lived in London from 2004 until 2015, and I miss my favorite city in the world. Albert Hall a very special place. We will all come through this pandemic stronger than ever - hang in there everybody! ❤️ from Tucson, AZ
I watched this live 6 hours ago, and I've watched it again 3 or 4 times already. It brings tears to my eyes every time! There is such passion in her voice.
Ms Jenkins can fill the hall by herself. Old Dad loved her music - He didn't fight any wars but served between them. Wish he'd lived to see this performance but glad he didn't live to see this year.
Greetings from Dublin. Hopefully, the day will come when we can finally defeat this insidious virus and not let it bring down civilization. Happy VE Day !
We can do it but ONLY if it is a "world war". To leave it untouched anywhere gives it a chance to "regroup" and attack us again. We not only have to endure more lockdowns and use social distancing and, one day, have a vaccine but we can't stop there. Places like Africa have to be included in our fight back. Or else.
Beautiful as always. Loved the song choices, they were all so perfect. Jealous of the Angels holds a special place in my heart thanks to Jenn Bostic (original composer/artist) so it was a wonder to hear it. Thank you RAH for putting this on and thanks to Katherine and the fabulous instrumentalists.
Thank you so much for live-streaming this special concert that I was able to sing along with my friends in UK from Tokyo thinking of the day we will meet again in London, especially at Royal Albert Hall. I am sure so many people around the world are most grateful for this special concert that lifted our hearts during hardships of pandemic and we hope Royal Albert Hall will keep live-streaming concert for subscribers after pandemic is over as that’ll be our dream come true.
Wonderful to see the inside and outside photos of the Royal Albert Hall in London. Only ever been in London once staying on my girlfriend's lounge floor My dad was born in Wimbledon. ☮️💜From🇳🇿🎶🙏
"A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square" is such a great song. No rhyming lyrics, just a lovely story told straight through. If you have ever had a moment with someone as described in this song, you will know this is exactly how it feels.
,Lovely ..... I cried when Katherine sang " Jealous of the angels" .... I haven't lost anyone to Covid19 but do I cry for all of you that have and I cry for every front line carer that has witnessed their fear and your sadness at not being able to be there for them . !! But In your place , these wonderful people have been there, at your loved ones end ....Truly heroic , emotional ,heart rending and impossible to say thank you enough .!! The picture of the nurse from Nottingham , so symbolic of the toll that this is taking on them all , these brave ,selfless angels of our NHS and emergency services . Thank you too , the working essential services that keep us all fed etc and the community volunteers . ❤️❤️❤️U👏👏👏
Absolutely beautiful xxx me an mum joined you from South Africa and had a wonderful time singing along with you all. God Bless🙏🙏🙏 We hope to visit you soon ❤❤❤
Katryn De Lange 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜😢😢😢I hope I am not breaching protocol with my colour of heart(red blood and blue blood mixed). Wonderful to connect with each other in this way
@@marilynwoolford-chandler1161 absolutely. Though we're miles apart, technology allows us to bring the world closer and make new friends along the way. I've made good friends all over the world this way and love chatting to them all. We're keeping each other standing and love goes a long way. Enjoy your day 🌷🌷🌷
Thank you to everyone involved in putting this together and uploading it for us to enjoy all over the world. Definitely cried during We’ll Meet Again. Hugs to all. Xoxo’s from the US
Thank you for putting on this concert, quite emotional and poignant, but one of hope. Yes, We'll meet again and White cliffs of Dover, Jerusalem, Rainbow are my favourites.
Thanks from America. The British have been an inspiration, when it comes to enduring difficulties. Soldier on....
Stiff upper lip sir.
the 36,000 US troops who left my home town will never be forgotten

I know, you keep waiting for and expecting audience applause. And to think this could last for another year.

Simple as, we shouldn't waste our ancestors sacrifice.
A wonderful tribute to all of the men and women that made this country great, thank you Katherine.

Have to disagree on no rhyming lyrics. There are several (although not many).

I've heard "all dressed up and nowhere to go". But this little lady is all dressed up and no one showed up at the performance. What a beauty she is.
This was fantastic concert. Thank you
Beautiful voice, and love all the songs she is singing.
Katharine gives such a balance from hymns to world War 2music and opera. 🙂 finest of Christian ✝️ ladies
songs of hope that are reminding us not to take peace and freedom for granted. hold on strong folks, we will meet again.
