The following are just a few photographs that were taken immediately after the dedication ceremony of the sculpture of "Elvis at 13" in Tupelo, MS.

I did not count the number of buses, but according to the newspapers, there were 15 bus loads of Elvis fans from England alone! The sculpture was very well received; at least I was asked to sign photographs, postcards and T-shirts. The sculpture immediately became a photo-op at the site.
