We’ll Meet Again by Vera Lynn & Roland Shaw Orchestra

We'll Meet Again

Let’s say goodbye with a smile, dear
Just for a while dear we must part
Don’t let this parting upset you
I’ll not forget you, sweetheart
We’ll meet again
Don’t know where
Don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
‘Til the blue skies chase those dark clouds far away
And I will just say hello
To the folks that you know
Tell them you won’t be long
They’ll be happy to know
That as I saw you go
You were singing this song
We’ll meet again
Don’t know where
Don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
And I will just say hello
To the folks that you know
Tell them you won’t be long
They’ll be happy to know
That as I saw you go
You were singing this song
We’ll meet again
Don’t know where
Don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day

OverView

We’ll Meet Again, made famous by Vera Lynn during the Second World War, is a poignant song of farewell filled with hope and reassurance. It speaks to the pain of parting, especially in times of uncertainty, but also to the enduring belief that separation is not the end. The lyrics offer comfort in the idea that loved ones will be reunited “some sunny day,” capturing both the sadness of absence and the quiet strength of optimism. For many, especially during wartime, the song became a symbol of resilience and emotional connection across distance. At its heart, We’ll Meet Again is about holding on to love, memory, and the promise of togetherness, no matter how long the wait.

Bridge over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel

When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I’m on your side
Oh, when times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I’ll take your part
Oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on, silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler

Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler

Oh, oh, oh, oh
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine, that’s your way
You always walked a step behind
So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
A beautiful face without a name for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain
Did you ever know that you’re my hero?
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I’ve got it all here in my heart
I want you to know, I know the truth, of course I know it
I would be nothing without you
Did you ever know that you’re my hero?
You’re everything I wish I could be
I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
Did I ever tell you, you’re my hero?
You’re everything, everything I wish I could be
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
‘Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
Oh, the wind beneath my wings
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings
Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
Fly, fly, so high against the sky
So high I almost touch the sky
Thank you, thank you
Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings

My Way by Frank Sinatra

View SONG

My Way by Frank Sinatra

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way

Yes, it was my way

You Raise Me Up by Westlife

When I am down and oh my soul so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit a while with me

[Chorus]
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up, to more than I can be

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up, to more than I can be

[Chorus 2: Westlife & Choir]
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains (Stand on mountains)
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas (Stormy seas)
I am strong (I am strong), when I am on your shoulders (I am strong)
You raise me up, to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains (Stand on mountains)
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas (Stormy seas)
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up, to more than I can be
You raise me up, to more than I can be

Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran

Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran

I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
I threw the day-old tea from the cup
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
Memories of a life that’s been loved
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
Dad always told me, “Don’t you cry when you’re down”
But mum, there’s a tear every time that I blink
Oh, I’m in pieces, it’s tearing me up, but I know
A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved
So, I’ll sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down, you’d be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back
He’ll say, “Hallelujah, you’re home”
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
John said he’d drive then put his hand on my cheek
And wiped a tear from the side of my face
And I hope that I see the world as you did, ’cause I know
A life with love is a life that’s been lived
So, I’ll sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down, you’d be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back
He’ll say, “Hallelujah, you’re home”
Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
You got to see the person I have become
Spread your wings and I know
That when God took you back
He said, “Hallelujah, you’re home”

The care , compassion and professionalism from these guys was outstanding, nothing was to much trouble . When our dad Arthur Walker was collected from home he was covered in a velvet throw much better than seeing a body bag , so classy! The chapel of rest was beautiful too , not like others I’ve seen . So from start to finish an excellent service , our dad’s little French bulldog lead him out on the day which was beautiful. The guys and cars were immaculate. Highly recommend these guys , our first time using W.Uden & Sons

David E.

Faultless service from the Uden's team at Sidcup. They could not have been more supportive and helpful to me and my family. On the day, the cars were spotlessly clean and the friendly team were immaculately dressed. I cannot recommend Uden's enough.

Jean B.

As a family we have had the privilege of using Uden’s Camberwell before over the last few years. Each time they have made the process so easy. From the time that we made the initial call to the day of the funeral they were in constant contact. Nothing was too small. Everyone we spoke to was very professional and extremely supportive. I cannot thank them enough.

Kim P.

Uden's recently oversaw my dad's funeral and I cannot praise them highly enough. From the very first contact with Spencer through to the actual day when Stanley looked after us, the standard of professionalism and respect shown was second to none. I felt in totally safe hands as such a vulnerable time, nothing was too much trouble for any of the team. I cannot thank them enough for the respect shown to my dad and the support we received, fantastic family run service and can't recommend highly enough.

James P.

The funeral service was excellent. The team were great and made sure everything ran smoothly. Ruth the celebrant was brilliant and it was a lovely send off. I can’t fault you guys. From the moment you picked dad up and looked after him for us to the final drop off at the wake it’s been as good as we could have hoped for.I’d have no hesitation in recommending you guys.Thank you.

Mark B.

W. Uden & Sons (Eltham) handled the arrangements for my late cousin’s funeral. Every step was smoothly and tactfully handled - from the initial enquiry and then the more detailed discussions, with Sarah making the whole process very straightforward, to the day of the funeral itself when Callum and the team could not have been more considerate and helpful. My thanks to everyone involved for their efforts in lessening the burden at a difficult time.

Julia

Can't recommend the Uden team in Bexleyheath enough - both Adam organising everything in the run up to the funeral and Stanley and his team supporting on the day of. They're very understanding of how difficult a time it is and they are so courteous! We kind of lost track of time between the church service and the burial but there was no hectic/boredom visible from the team who remained 100% present the entire time (no scrolling on phones or anything). Great service with the hearse and limousine and they also let us participate by pushing the coffin into the church. They think of everything - we had an easel with a photo which they kindly also set up and took down again. Thank you very much!

Amanda W.

This is the 4th time my family have used W. Uden & Sons to look after our loved ones in recent years. The funeral for my uncle was in May 2026 which was a burial at Sidcup cemetery. Spencer guided me through the process and dealt with everything. I just had to say what I wanted. On the day Stanley in his hat and cane and the pall bearers were professional and respectful during this difficult time for us. I highly recommend W.Uden & Sons.

SW E.

In 2017 Uden & Sons helped me to plan and fulfill the final arrangements for my spouse. Things were just as she had wanted them to be done. They handled every detail. From the gathering of her remains to the arrangement of private viewings and her cremation.I thank their entire staff for the excellent job that they did then. Their professionalism, attention to detail and exceptional kindness make them easy to recommend. They're honest, straightforward and provided all the assistance one could ask for.Uden & Son's made a dark time less difficult. I am deeply thankfull for the service rendered to me and my spouse. Thank you.

Graham D.

My father was insistent that we use W. Uden & Sons (Biggin Hill) for my mother’s funeral, and after the service we received I completely understand why. Everything was handled with great care, compassion, and professionalism from beginning to end. During such a difficult time, they made everything much easier to manage and guided us through every step with kindness and understanding. Nothing was too much trouble.Their attention to detail and support meant a great deal to us and was a huge help throughout the day. We are truly grateful for everything they did to give our mother the farewell she deserved.I could not recommend W. Uden & Sons highly enough to anyone looking for caring and professional funeral directors.

Mark T.

W. Uden and Sons, Sidcup managed my father's funeral with great respect and professionalism. The family felt we were in safe hands throughout the process and on the day. I would recommend them to others dealing with the loss of a loved relative.

Samantha M.

Thank you to Spencer, Alan, Andrew and Bailey and the rest of the team, for the professional and caring service we received from the first moment I contacted Udens Sidcup.We truly couldn't have got through this sad time without them.There are just not enough words to express how brilliant they are.Thank you from us all.The Marshall family

orphilia A.

My family and I would like to sincerely thank the W.Uden family funeral directors for the care, professionalism, and compassion shown throughout the arrangements for our beloved sister’s funeral. During such a difficult and emotional time for us as a family, your support, patience, and guidance helped ease a lot of the stress and worry.Everything was handled with dignity and respect, and the service itself was beautiful and well organised. We especially appreciated the kindness shown to myself and family, the clear communication throughout the process, and the care taken to honour our sister so beautifully.Thank you again for helping us give her a peaceful and memorable farewell. I would honestly recommend this family funeral directors. We are truly grateful. Thank you again and God Bless

sharon O.

From the start, the staff at the Camberwell branch were very understanding, sympathetic and knowledgeable in how they treated my family, there is only one thing to say, thank you for making such a emotional and stressful time a lot easier to cope with.

Lisa S.

From the very first phone call they were so professional. Polite and caring. All questions were answered with empathy and respect.
