Celine Dion has paid a poignant tribute to her late husband Rene Angelil on the three-year anniversary of his death, saying he is “always with me”.

The music producer and manager died on January 14 2016 after battling throat cancer.

Dion, 50, shared a picture of Angelil on Instagram, writing a message first in French and then in English.

It said: “My dearest Rene… always with me… always will be.
