"We will come through this": Elderly couple send singing video to family
An elderly couple from Derbyshire have sent a video of them singing Vera Lynn to their family to say "We'll Meet Again."
Rex and Selina Taylor haven't left the house in two weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic, and decided to send a message to their family of them singing Vera Lynn's wartime song 'We'll Meet Again."
Rex said: "It was just a bit of fun really, we were sat here and wethought it would be nice to let people know that, it's not easy, butwe aren't too bad."
"We have got (virtual assistant) Amazon Alexa and we asked it to findsomething from Vera Lynn, that song came up and we thought it's justperfect."
The couple, who are both in their eighties, have been married for more than 60 years, and are still "very much in love."
Selina Taylor, 83, has Alzheimer's Disease, and Rex said they've had to keep to a routine while in lockdown as a result, and that they often sing together to settle Selina down when she gets agitated.
Rex said: "She gets worked up at certain times, so I come and sitwith her and we hold hands and sing to each other. It settles her down."
He added that he had a message of hope for everyone due to the lockdown, wanting people to remember that "we will come through this."
