The King died.
Twenty eight years ago today Elvis Presley died.
Any one old enough to remember, what were you doing exactly twenty eight years ago on this day? I was camping with the Boy's Brigade in Scarborough, and hating it. I remember walking miles and miles by myself along the coastal path to phone my parents. I'd been brought up with Elvis's music, and it felt like we had lost someone we knew, daft I know. I've never been back to Scarborough since, and have only been camping twice since, and that was under duress.

Re: The King died.
Oh dear,
 I created this thread after wishing Mummiboo a happy birthday. I just checked and have seen she is twenty eight today. So we at least know what Anne and Mummiboo were doing.

Re: The King died.
Sorry to wander off-thread a bit, but Bank Holiday Monday, August 29th could be a good day to renew your acquaintance with Scarborough. I'm sure it would be a much more enjoyable experience than the first time!

Re: The King died.
16th August 1977
On this day “The King” Elvis Presley was found dead at his home “Graceland”. The day before his next scheduled concert, Presley was discovered by his girlfriend Ginger Alden dead in his bathroom at Graceland. An unconscious Elvis Presley is rushed to Baptist Memorial Hospital around 3 p.m. Despite efforts to revive him, Presley is subsequently pronounced dead. I was working for a living on that day, that's what I was doing. Didn't mind his music.....

Duh, sorry. Will I have to hand in my official supporters badge now?  I will be there at Altringham tonight though.  My parents were young teens when Elvis first ignited the world with his version of Rock 'n' Roll, it's the first music I remember growing up. Luckily I was careful as a child, when I used to play all my Dad's old LP's. Favourite Elvis cocert, the 1969 TV come back special, the one with the black leather, rather than the now much imitated white, Vegas, rhinestone encrusted jumpsuit years. I was twelve when he died twenty eight years ago, and I'm only thirty two now, which is all a bit strange.

Re: The King died.
There is a thread in the nostalgia section about this. I think it's a couple of years old, so it may be way back in the section. I'll see if I can root it out.
