Lisa Marie Presley joins fans in remembering Elvis

Report by Geraldine Cooper

Hundreds of Elvis Presley fans have travelled to Memphis to pay tribute to the star on the anniversary of his death.

It has been 35 years since the "King of Rock and Roll" passed away on August 16, 1977.

The concert featured a live orchestra playing with archive footage of Elvis projected onto a giant screen behind them.

The singer's ex-wife Priscilla and daughter Lisa Marie Presley were among the special guests.

Following a recorded duet with her father, Lisa Marie addressed the crowd, thanking the fans for their love and support.

Elvis was just 42 when he died at his home from a heart attack after battling prescription drug abuse.

He remains one of the biggest-selling artists of all time.
