#10 : Fun facts you may not have known about the King : " Elvis Presley "

#10. It was widely believed that Elvis' first and only trip to the UK happened in 1960, when the plane carrying him home from his military tenure in Germany stopped to refuel at Glasgow Prestwick Airport in Scotland. When word got out that Elvis

may have spent a day in London with British rocker Tommy Steele back in 1958 (a story confirmed by Steele in 2008), officials at Prestwick Airport refused to believe it — they had already commemorated Elvis' stop-over with a plaque, and had erected an Elvis-themed lounge in honor of the event. "As far as we are concerned, until it is proved otherwise, Prestwick Airport remains the only place in the United Kingdom that Elvis Presley ever set foot," said airport executive Mark Rodwell in 2008.
