Flags are being lowered to half-staff in honor of Dolly Parton, a legendary country music singer. The move is a tribute to her memory, following her death at the age of 80.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered flags to be lowered for seven days. This order comes one day after Parton's death.
Further details about the tribute and Parton's legacy are available, including a statement from President Donald Trump who also ordered U.S. flags to be lowered to half-staff.
