A section on his army service features his uniform, kit trunk and the bongos his girlfriend Priscilla — later his wife — gave him for Christmas after they met in at a military base in Germany.

Fans will love the gold-plated phone Elvis kept on his bedside table, the keys to Graceland and the pool table on which he played against The Beatles. Other highlights are the black leather suit from his Comeback Special and sunglasses and rings with the TCB logo and lightning flash Priscilla designed in One bizarre but fascinating exhibit is a rambling five-page letter Elvis wrote to President Richard Nixon, pleading to be made an agent of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics.

Don't Miss Another

They assume you already accept the doctrine that he is the King of Rock and Roll and their intention is to convey a sense of the private Elvis, through his belongings. On display is a mixture of the outlandish and the very mundane, with a fair sprinkling of tat.

Nearly all the clothes come into the outlandish category — these are garish costumes, designed to look good at a distance or on film. The famous concert jumpsuits are like this. They start as fairly simple variations on the theme of a karate suit and as each year passes post they become ever more rhinestone encrusted and bulky. His nylon shirts have loud floral patterns. A powder blue suit flaunts vast lapels trimmed in navy suede the size of aircraft wings. The jewellery too is oversized. Here is an And there are the pieces of kit that most ordinary people do without: like the two Harley Davidson golf buggies in which he liked to tool around the garden with Lisa Marie.

The mundane bits and pieces are equally fascinating. The upper floor of Graceland itself has never been opened to the public. He had a statue of Jesus of the Sacred Heart — not what you would expect to find in the home of someone from the Southern Baptist tradition. But Elvis was nothing if not ecumenical. His Dual record player is there too: on it, an acetate recording by his gospel backing singers The Stamps.

This record was on the turntable on August 16 Weirdest item?

Probably the letter Elvis wrote — or scrawled in a uncertain hand — to Richard Nixon on American Airlines stationery begging the president to grant him a DEA badge he did. This was a cabinet of curiosities, soberly curated by the Graceland archive team. Just the exhibits and some discreet labels. To me that is entirely proper, since Elvis Presley has transcended both his era and his musical genre to become a cultural and historical monument.

The preservation of his archive is a serious business. It is right that all these artefacts will be preserved for future generations — just as if they were the Elgin marbles. February -Elvis' black leather suit Unveiled in London Exhibition: The key items at the London O2 Elvis exhibition are being alternated as the exhibition continues.

The suit will be on display for a limited time of two months before being returned to Memphis. It is the size of a football pitch.

Filling the space will be no problem, I am told. Graceland's Angie Marchese is the curator of the exhibition and it has been her job to whittle down the one million documents — yep, one million — , photographs and hundreds of outfits, dozens of cars and so on, into a selection that can give our visitors an insight into what Elvis was all about.

Another challenge was to get the best of Graceland over to the UK without lessening the offering over there they get , visitors a year. It has been decided that all of these things can visit our exhibition in the UK but for a limited time and, also, one at a time.

Some of these exhibits haven't been seen before, Elvis will be so happy, he always thought this British fans were so supportive, he had a special love for them. He took nothing for granted. Elvis even made a scrapbook himself, filled with pictures of the fans, he never forgot them. He felt very attached to Britain. Specific items leaving Memphis for the first of its kind London exhibition include: TCB" Taking Care of Business ring, 16 total karats with a centre solitaire of Lisa-Marie too has a scheduled a time to see it too.

Since opening in December last year, the exhibition has received rave reviews from fans and the media alike, and has been one of the most popular music and pop culture exhibitions ever to open in the UK. The final major display is the Concert Years. I have been up four times and plan to go again on 5 th September for a special evening event arranged by Essential Elvis..

Here's a tip for any older visitor over 60 or thereabouts! With so many older Elvis fans attending the exhibition the staff are very flexible with the "reduced price pensioner" tickets! It may be worth asking. By the way they are selling the auction catalogue for August 13th in Graceland if any one feels especially flush.

Memphis, Elvis beloved city where he lived, was named after the city of the same name in Egypt. Both places are served by huge rivers - the Nile in Egypt, the mighty Mississippi in Memphis. And both even feature Pyramids as part of their impressive skylines.

And of course they have both home of kings - The King of Rock and Roll in the case of Memphis and in Egypt the Pharaohs who ruled over the country in ancient times. And there's a link between him and Elvis too. In the O2 Arena in London played host to a record-breaking exhibit of Tutankhamun's treasures We've learned the fantastic news that to date, with over 57, tickets sold, the Elvis at the O2 exhibit has already smashed ticket sales - and it's not even finishing until August!!

It just proves that it doesn't matter who you are, even a King who ruled over a whole civilisation - you'll never be bigger than the true King; Elvis Presley! What you saw with him is what you got. Not everyone knows that, people know his music but they don't necessarily know the real Elvis, I want the world to know he was a lovely, loyal man. You don't get that with so many musicians or celebrities these days, they don't value their fans, so I want to share with the world what he was really like. Next month an exhibition to celebrate his life will come to London's O2 Arena.
