Last updated 17th Sep 2021
The Elvis festival has returned to Great Yarmouth this week, for the first time since 2019.
Lovers of 'The King' from around the world, have flocked to Vauxhall Holiday Park to enjoy a range of acts who have links to the man himself.
All this week, they've been treated to performances from Showaddywaddy, The Dreamers and Merrill Osmond.
Neil Cameron, from the UK’s largest Elvis fan organization, Strictly Elvis, who help set up the festival every year told us that Great Yarmouth is "the perfect place to host the festival".
"The accommodation is great, the facilities are great. Norfolk and Great Yarmouth are lovely and people really take advantage not only of what is here, but also what they have in the surrounding areas."
Mr Cameron also told us that he loves Elvis "because he was an all-round entertainer, performer and good guy",
"There were so many facets of his character. Not only did he have the singing voice, but he was also a great actor, and a great advocate for many charities."
He concluded by telling us that the organisation hope to be back in Norfolk this time next year to commemorate 45 year since 'The King of Rock N' Roll' died and half a decade since the Strictly Elvis group was founded.
Amy Greenwood, from Vauxhall Holiday Park told us that its great to have the festival back and "so lovely to get that feel again of getting back to normal, as safely as we can do"
