President Donald Trump paid an emotional tribute to Dolly Parton following the country music legend's death on Wednesday, calling her a once-in-a-generation artist and announcing that American flags will be lowered across the United States for one week in her honour.
Trump's message came shortly after Parton's family announced her death at the age of 80, bringing an end to a career that stretched across more than six decades and made the Tennessee-born singer one of the most recognisable figures in American entertainment.
