Elvis fans to mark the spot where he landed in the UK
Thousands of Elvis fans are expected to flock to the west coast of Scotland to pay tribute to the King at the only spot in Britain where he ever set foot.
The then 25-year-old Sergeant Elvis Presley made his only appearance in the UK when he stepped off a US military plane at Prestwick Airport in North Ayrshire, on March 2, 1960.
Elvis was heading back to the States after serving with the US Army in Germany.
The one-hour refuelling stopover was supposed to be top secret, but news leaked out and about 1,000 screaming fans turned up to greet the King.
A tribute concert to Elvis is scheduled to take place at the airport at 9pm tonight to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his death.
Some 20 musicians will perform Elvis's best-known hits and re-enact key moments from his life in a three-hour extravaganza, also featuring guest celebrity lookalikes.
Prestwick airport's bar is now named Graceland in Elvis's memory.
Organiser and Elvis impersonator Jesse Garron, 56, said he expected up to 5,000 people to turn up for the event in the Aviator Suite.
He said: "Scotland can be proud of the fact that Prestwick Airport is the only place in Britain where he ever set foot. I'm sure it was a magical event for everyone who was there."
As he sits in a bar, surrounded by beautiful women, he is bitten by a mosquito, which flies away only to be eaten by a frog which is then seen copulating to disco music.
It then shows a rich old man about to be seduced by a glamorous young woman but it leaves the viewers in no doubt as to his destiny when the cameras pan to a coffin being lowered into the ground, then being set on by a hungry worm.
The campaign will also appear on internet sites popular with men, such as FHM.com, Maxim.co.uk and ITV Football, reports Media Guardian.
