Noel Gay was one of the most popular and prolific British composers from the 1930s through to the 1950s.
His music has become synonymous with World War Two, with hits such as Lambeth Walk and Let the People Sing providing much-needed entertainment during the war years.
His most famous musical, Me and My Girl, opened in 1937 and despite being bombed out of two theatres, ran for five years.
Though not everybody may know his name, everybody knows his tunes.
