## Resource

The world is a much less colourful place this morning after the legendary country music singer Dolly Parton died at the age of 80. One of the most iconic singer-songwriters of all time, her music touched millions of people across multiple generations during a seven-decade career. She was somewhat of a rags to rhinestones story - rising to stardom after being raised in poverty in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Trump100 co-host James Matthews is with mourners in the Smoky Mountains and has sent Cheat Sheet a voice note. Meanwhile, Sky News understands that a property belonging to the father of a teenager who died in the A66 crash was rammed shortly before the fatal collision. Finally, the Pope of course is not exactly short of followers - but he might be about to gain a few dedicated followers of fashion. That’s because Vanity Fair has included the pontiff in its ranking of the best dressed people in the world. Anna Jones and Gareth Barlow have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
