Celine Dion was yesterday awarded France's highest civilian honour, the Légion d'Honneur,  in a ceremony at the Elysee Palace in Paris.

Accompanied by husband Rene Angelil and son Rene-Charles, the Canadian singing legend was presented with the Legion of Honour medal - a world-renowned Order and the highest decoration in France - by President Nicolas Sarkozy.

The award was established by Napoléon in 1802 to recognize great military and civilian contributions to France.
