The state capitol building of Utah, located in Salt Lake City, stands atop a hill overlooking the city with its flags lowered to half staff.

The iconic country singer died Aug. 25 at a hospital in Nashville, Tennessee.

Following a presidential proclamation, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has ordered all flags to be flown at half-staff to honor Dolly Parton.

The country singer from Tennessee died Aug 25 after a long battle with cancer.

Flags have been at half-staff honoring two pilots killed while battling the Widemouth 2 Fire and will now remain lowered until sunset Sept. 1.
