Katherine Jenkins and Dame Vera Lynn will duet on ‘We'll Meet Again' in aid of NHS workers

Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins has revealed she and Dame Vera Lynn will join forces to duet on, 'We'll Meet Again' in honour of our "superhero NHS workers and their families".

She said that all proceeds will be going to the NHS Charities Together.

During the Queen’s address to the nation on 5 April, in response to the coronavirus crisis, the monarch referenced the song's famous lyric, saying “We will meet again."

Following this, the wartime classic had a 209% rise in streams on Spotify and rose hundreds of places on the iTunes chart.
