In 2009 she became the oldest living artist to make it to No. 1 on the British album chart, at the age of 92.[ 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 veterans of the Second World War and in 2000 was named the Briton who best exemplified the spirit of the twentieth century.
