Elvis Presley's grave

Visitors made the pilgrimage to his grave to remember "The King", who died on 16 August 1977, aged 42.

Ex-wife Priscilla Presley said Elvis was still a powerful figure. "To see the fans from all over the world... it's mind-boggling," she said.

The vigil will be followed by a tribute concert featuring footage of Elvis.

"It's official - this is the biggest Elvis week and the biggest candlelight vigil ever," said Tom Morgan, executive director of Elvis Presley Enterprises, as he opened the ceremony on Wednesday evening."
