1 / 4

Dolly Parton has been laid to rest beside her late husband, Carl Dean, following a private family funeral in Nashville. Her great-niece, Lainey Parton, paid an emotional tribute, remembering the singer as a loving figure who encouraged her family to pursue their dreams. A tribute concert was held at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry, where several country music stars honoured Parton's seven-decade legacy. Her niece, Jada Star, performed during the event, while Jelly Roll made a surprise appearance in the finale performance of “9 to 5”. Fans have also held candlelight vigils in several US cities. Parton's family has asked well-wishers to support her Imagination Library, which provides free books to young children, in place of sending flowers.
