Elvis was known in France when he came, he signed autographs on the Champs Elysees. And was recognized on the road in a service station in Nancy (350 km from Paris) his trip by taxi. He would have recognized without problem in London.. 😁🙏
Thank you very much. Yes, as you may have seen in some of my other videos, we've visited so many Elvis (and others) related places in USA but never got round to this spot in our own country until this vid! I appreciate you taking a look 👍
Beautiful blog for all Elvis and Music, History fans like me. Thank you again, Lyndon and Sian. Ps have you blogs about other Elvisplaces in Europa like Bad Nauheim or so?
Thanks Cees M! The pandemic put back any travel plans outside of the UK - but we do hope to get over to Germany someday. The new bridge statue looks fantastic. Thanks again for watching.
Even so I'am glad he did experience how massive he was in the United Kingdom even if it was not that long ,i think neil Armstrong stayed on the moon around the same time .
Modernisation took over ... sad 😢 TBH ... Ibelieve Tommy's story as didn't Tommy join the Merchant Navy and had ended up in New York possibly around the time that Elvis was there in his early career. Seeing as Tommy was into music too, he may have had an opportunity to meet him, before the hordes took over, so to speak.
Hi June. Yes, sad these old buldings have gone. With regards Tommy, he supposedly took him around London in a taxi while Elvis was serving in Germany. Elvis had more 'privileges' than other soldiers but even if he did manage to swing it with a trip to the UK, I believe there's no way that it could have been kept a secret all these years. Red West and Lamar Fike were with him in Germany, and over the years they've told of 'secrets' like the drugs etc , so I'm sure they would have mentioned a sneaky trip to London over the years if it actually happened. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Tommy Steele's story of his secret meeting with Elvis & taking him on a secret trip to London is a load of bunkum.He was at Prestwick for about 90mins about 7.30pm while the plane refuelled.T.S.said he flew into London by jet & he showed Elvis around.Bunkum.All in 90mins.Rubbish.How did Elvis get through UK customs, being the world's biggest superstar without being recognized.Its a fact army records show he had a weekend in Paris.& That was it.Also Joe Esposito or Charlie Hodge when asked about this on British TV during an Elvis impersonator contest a few yrs back indirectly called T.S a liar.He actually said SORRY TOMMY it never happened.Some of u may remember this when shown on ITV.Both Joe & Charlie went all through the army with ELV & ELV would not have gone anywhere without his buddies by his side.
Thanks for watching Alan. Of course it's extremely difficult to believe EP visited London and the only person in the world who knew about it was Tommy. EP never thought to mention it to Cilla or any of his group etc to retell the tale?🤔🤔 Don't think so 🙄
@@OceanHops Thanks for the response.But also don't forget the facts speak for themselves.It would have been impossible in the time he was here.If Joe & Charlie said on film he didn't, he didn't.This story 1st emerged on ITV News with Julie Etchingham a while back(I watched it) & at the time I think Tommy S had a new show in the westend opening .Possible publicity for himself.If T.S.was questioned in depth his story wouldn't hold up, especially if he was shown the TV clip watched by millions All the best.

Nice job of showing us where Elvis landed in Scotland on March 3, 1960...on his way back to the US...ending his stint in the Army...
Hey Jim. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍. Never been there before even though it's here in the UK !!
My uncle Willie McCallum was the official photographer when Elvis landed in Prestwick.
