Beyonce, Easter Bunny highlight Obama's final egg roll

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Rain clouds auspiciously parted, A-list guests including the Easter Bunny and Beyonce were on hand and first dogs Sunny and Bo obliged for selfies as U.S. President Barack Obama celebrated his final Easter egg roll at the White House on Monday.

Obama and first lady Michelle Obama hosted 35,000 guests on the South Lawn for the 138th annual event, which Obama said was one of his favorite fixtures on the calendar.

"You guys brought the sun out, so we appreciate that so much," Obama joked to attendees as showers were replaced by sun.

Standing on the White House balcony, the president and first lady welcomed the crowd before heading down to the lawn for games, reading, and sports.
