US President Donald Trump has paid tribute to country music icon Dolly Parton after the announcement of her death at the age of 80.
He confirmed the American flag will be lowered across the country at government buildings to half-mast today in honour of Dolly.
“Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest country singers, and far beyond, ever, has just passed away. This is a true loss for millions of people,” he said in a post on Truth Social.
“There has never been anyone like her and never will. In her honour, I am lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one week period beginning tonight at 6:00pm. Rest in peace, Dolly! The world loves you.”
