Remembering Elvis Presley On His 30th Death Anniversary
August 15, 07 by Ballz!
Around 50,000 die hard Elvis Presley fans are expected to gather in Memphis tonight (August 15) to perform a candlelit vigil to mark the 30th anniversary of the superstar’s death.
At 8.30pm Memphis, USA time tonight, the gates of the Graceland mansion, where Presley used to live, will be opened to fans.
They will be invited to walk up the Graceland driveway to Presley’s gravesite and back carrying a candle each as a mark of respect.
It is expected that the ceremony will last for around ten hours, finishing in the early morning hours of Thursday (August 16), the date of Presley’s untimely death.
The event is the centrepiece of a week of Elvis events in Memphis, collectively dubbed “Elvis Week“.

I wish I could have atleast gone to The King’s home maybe sometime soon! But I still miss you Elvis and will always love and remember you altho especially on this unforgetable day.
The King will always be cherished by millions for his music and charisma but also, for the warm person that he was.
