Girl, 10, picks perfect song as she sings beautiful tribute to NHS

A schoolgirl is trying to lift the spirits of NHS workers who are risking their lives by helping people with coronvirus by singing them a very special song.

Sophie Tinger, 10, sang a beautiful rendition of Vera Lynn's classic We'll Meet Again after being inspired by the line in the Queen's national address.

She sent the video to her cousins, who work in the the NHS, and hopes it will also help to cheer others up.

Sophie, from Hertfordshire, has been singing since she was five-years-old and says music helps her whenever she has a problem, so hopes this song will help others in the same way.

She told Mirror Online: "This song means a lot to me because I would like to meet my friends and family again but I don’t know where and when and gives people joy and hope like it did in the war.

"I think they are so brave and bold to go to work where they could catch c oronavirus.  

"I think they are amazing how they not only take care of the sick people but save their lives.

"While we are just staying at home they are working day and night and I am so grateful to them."

Earlier this year Sophie planned to visit care homes to sing for elderly people with her friend.

But when coronavirus started to take hold of the country she was forced to stop the visits.

However she had already learnt Vera's hit song, so decided this was the perfect message to send.

She said: "This time is sad but I try to remember that being inside is saving lives and it gives me time to think and be grateful to the nhs and all the people working to help us".

Sophie has been spending her lockdown days completing school work and sending singing videos to her grandparents - but said her favourite activity is clapping for the NHS on a Thursday night.
