A GRANDMOTHER who went viral with her musical tribute to the NHS left This Morning viewers “crying their eyes out” after performing Dame Vera Lynn’s We’ll Meet Again on the show.

Rosie Turner, 89, was inspired by Captain Tom to give her neighbours an uplifting musical performance last week. It went viral after being shared on Twitter, and she has revealed she’ll be performing the classic wartime tune on the the 75th anniversary of VE Day on May 8.

She appeared from her Chichester home with her daughter-in-law, novelist Kate Mosse, 58, where she treated hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield to a performance of the song, and left viewers in tears as she did.

Rosie took the internet by storm last week after her daughter-in-law Kate shared a video of her singing the song for her neighbours in their road in Chichester .

The Argus:

Kate penned: ‘So, tonight, the legendary Granny Rosie, rising 90, played “We’ll Meet Again’ for the NHS”. When asked who she admired on the show, the singing granny immediately answered: “Oh Captain Tom, he’s brilliant.”

She added: “I will go out on the anniversary of V-Day and play the old songs.”

When asked which she would play for the special occasion, Rosie revealed that she’s planning on once again performing, We’ll Meet Again and treated the hosts to a preview of her performance.

Viewers were moved by the song, and admitted it left them in tears with one confessing they “well up” every time they hear the song, after being separated from their 18-month old child.

Tweeting Kate, one said: “Just watched your lovely mum in-law’s item on This Morning. Brought tears to my eyes.

"She is wonderful and so talented. What a dream team you guys are.”

Another agreed: “Right.

"This film clip of Kate Mosse’s mum singing wartime songs is too emotional.”

When quizzed on where the idea for the performance came from, Rosie said: “Because we did a community street party so we thought we’d do it again.”

The Argus:

Speaking about spending isolation with her husband and mother-in-law, Kate explained: “There is a lot of music in our home.

"We’re all here, we’re all having a dance.”
