  "summary": "Dolly Parton, the country music legend and actress, has died at the age of 80. According to France 24, she was one of the rare celebrities that transcended divides in the United States.\n\nSome fans reacted with mixed emotions to US President Donald Trump's order to lower flags at half-mast in her honour. As Euronews reported, some pointed out that the tribute rang hollow given that Parton's literacy initiative has been impacted by Republican rule.\n\nTributes have been pouring in from around the world, including from Ladysmith Black Mambazo, who honoured Parton's legacy of warmth and storytelling, and Billy Ray Cyrus, who shared emotional memories of Parton, his daughter Miley's godmother.",
