Beyonce surprised parents at her daughter’s school as she took to the stage to perform a string of hits, including a Whitney Houston cover.

The singer, 34, took part in a fundraiser at Blue Ivy's Los Angeles school by entertaining parents with a breath-taking rendition of Houston’s I Will Always Love You.

Dressed in a black and gold zebra print dress Beyonce belted out the number one hit before encouraging the audience to help her sing the chorus.

After wrapping up the emotional cover she said: “We love you so much.”

Beyonce also powered through her own hits including Crazy in Love and XO.

It marked the singer's first public appearance since the Super Bowl which saw her perform her new single, Formation, before joining Bruno Mars and Coldplay on stage.

Last week she shared a string of adorable pictures of her daughter playing with Chris Martin during rehearsals for the bash.

He rmother, Tina Knowles, also posted an Instagram of Jay-Z and Blue Ivy holding the Super Bowl trophy alongside the caption: "I don't get it! What's the big deal?"
