French President Emmanuel Macron appeared alongside superstar singer Rihanna for an education summit in Senegal today.

The conference centre in Dakar erupted with cheers and whistles as the Umbrella hit-maker was announced, with Macron and the singer from Barbados posing arm in arm with Senegalese President Macky Sall.

Rihanna, who wore a smart power grey suit for the event with her hair scraped back, tweeted 'merci' to thank Macron for co-hosting the Global Partnership for Education conference as part of his two-day trip to west Africa.
