Celine Dion has marked a decade since the passing of her husband with a touching tribute.

René Angélil, who married Celine in 1994 and with whom she has three children, died on January 14, 2016, from throat cancer.

Taking to social media, Celine shared a heartfelt message from herself and their sons, René-Charles, Nelson and Eddy.

"Mon amour, ten years without you feels like just a day, and yet each day feels like a decade," the tribute begins.

Celine continues: "Ten years without your caress, and yet every day I feel your touch…

"We miss you more than we can bear, but you taught us to be strong. We love you more, every day and every year."

The 'My Heart Will Go On' singer signs off the message "Céline, RC, Nelson and Eddy xx."

57-year-old Dion accompanied the heartfelt tribute with a photo of her late husband's portrait sitting on a piano with a spotlight shining down on him.
