There is hope that a new recycling truck named after country music legend Dolly Parton will make people smile following her death.
Tributes have been pouring in since the singer died at the age of 80 on 25 August. The name "Dolly Carton" now appears on the side of one of Torridge District Council's new recycling vehicles in Devon.
The names for 11 new vehicles were chosen by waste crews before Parton's death, and Dolly Carton was added to one of the lorries in August.
Rachel Gordon submitted the name. She said she chose it because her dad loved country music and she grew up listening to Parton's music.
"Now that she has passed I hope the lorry will bring a smile to people when they see her name on the front," she added.
Gordon said the name also had a personal connection, combining parts of her daughters' names, Daisy and Polly.
Torridge District Council said it hoped the name would now be seen as a fitting tribute to the singer.
"Dolly Parton was known for her sharp wit and sense of humour," said councillor Chris Leather, adding: "Everyone loves Dolly."
The council's lead member for operational services said the name had been one of the favourites chosen by crews and staff out of 660 entries.
He thanked everyone who entered name suggestions and said the team had a "tough but amusing" time selecting the winners.
The competition was the latest in a series of vehicle-naming contests run by Torridge District Council.
Previous winners have included names Optimus Grime, Bindiana Jones and Bagatha Christie.
