Our Elvis superfan wins a prize fit for a King with once-in-a-lifetime £10,000 Memphis trip
NO.1 Elvis fan Freddie Rossi-Parish flies the Union Jack outside Graceland after winning a prize fit for a King.
Freddie scooped a £10,000 hol to Memphis, US, after being crowned the Sun on Sunday’s ultimate Elvis fan.
Freddie, 31, from Sutton, South London, who took sister Polly, 21, with him said: “I’m not religious or spiritual but I could feel his presence at Graceland.”
The superfan, who also got to touch one of Elvis’s belts and visit his hero’s childhood home in Tupelo, Mississippi said: “At Sun Studios the guide said, ‘In 1956 Elvis came in and sang That’s Alright Mama from that spot’.
‘He then pointed at me — I was standing on the spot Elvis recorded his first song. I couldn’t believe it.
“The trip was amazing, I will never, ever forget it.”
