Grand Ole Opry honours Dolly Parton in unforgettable night of love

Dolly Parton was remembered in a very emotional way at the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday, just days after the country music legend died at the age of 80. The famous Nashville venue was packed with fans and stars who came together to celebrate Dolly's life and everything she gave to country music. Carly Pearce was one of the singers who took the stage. She performed Dolly's song Those Memories of You and returned several times during the night. Jelly Roll also joined the special tribute. Fans came dressed up, carried flowers and shared their feelings at a letter writing station inside the venue. Videos showing Dolly's long history with the Grand Ole Opry were also played during the show. Dan Rogers reminded the crowd that Dolly was loved for more than her music. He said people remembered 'the children she gifted books' and those she inspired to follow their dreams. The stars later came together for 9 to 5, with Jelly Roll joining the chorus. The emotional night ended with Dolly appearing on screen singing I Will Always Love You.
