An "administrative error" saw a town council suggest booking Dame Vera Lynn for the town's upcoming celebration of the Queen's Jubilee, despite the singer dying last year.
A meeting of the environment committee of Bicester Town Council took place on Monday, September 27, with the agenda outlining what would be discussed for the upcoming event.
One of the items discussed was entertainment for the Queen's Jubilee, set to take place next June, with acts suggested including a Queen tribute group, as well as Vera Lynn, Oxfordshire Live reported.
According to the council agenda, Vera herself "has contacted Bicester Town Council to be included with Armed Forces Day."

As well as this, the meeting notes stated that "her song Gone with the Wind is one of the Queen’s favourite songs", despite the beloved singer never having performed the tune.
The section ends with the "recommendation to contact her".
OxfordshireLive contacted the council, who said it was an "administrative error" and that the agenda should instead read "Vera Lynn Tribute act".
A spokesperson for the council added: "The song “Gone with the Wind” was a song that was requested from another source – these two items were never connected.
"This error was purely an administrative mistake – this mistake was acknowledged and will reflect in the minutes for the meeting upon release."
The council has since removed the document online.
Dame Vera Lynn died last June at the age of 103. At the time, Buckingham Palace said the Queen will send private condolences to the singer's family .
Clarence House shared images of the singer meeting Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall and receiving her honour at Buckingham Palace.
They accompanied the tweet with the caption: "Remembering Dame Vera Lynn."
Whilst Gone With the Wind isn't one of her pieces, The Queen previously echoed her famous WW2 anthem We'll Meet Again during a speech to Britons who were separated from families and friends during the coronavirus lockdown in April last year.
She told the nation: "We will be with our friends again, we will be with our families again, we will meet again."
