Family resemblance apparent as Celine and her son watch Rene Angelil receive Canadian honour

 

2009-06-18

 

There was no mistaking young Rene-Charles' famous lineage when he joined his parents at a special ceremony this week. Standing alongside his mom Celine Dion to proudly watch dad Rene Angelil receive the National Order of Quebec honour on Wednesday, the similarities between the eight-year-old and his mother were clear.

 

But all eyes were on music manager Rene senior at the event, who was being honoured with the prestigious order of merit alongside 30 other people including former Canadian hockey player Mario Lemieux.

 

Following in his wife's footsteps – Celine received the distinction in 1998 – the 67-year-old joined the ranks as an officer of the national order, conferred on men and women for outstanding achievements who were born or are living in Quebec.

 

"It's a great honour," said the Montreal-born former pop star, who was also supported by his daughter from his second marriage, Anne-Marie, and son-in-law Marc Dupre. "I'm touched, I'm very proud to be a Quebecer."

 

Established in 1984, the Order, known officially by its French name, Ordre National du Quebec, is bestowed by the provincial government and is one of the most prestigious honours in Quebec. Non-Quebecers can also be inducted to honour their friendship to the province.

 

He looks like his mum doesnt he ? love the short hair on him.
