Is this Elvis?
An image bearing a resemblance to Elvis Presley has mysteriously appeared on a slate in a garden in the shadow of the Preseli hills and could become a shrine to the king of rock'n'roll.
The phenomenon has rekindled interest in speculation that Elvis' ancestors came from the area, and already fans of the legend are showing a desire to visit the north Pembrokeshire site.
Elvis Aaron Presley was born in Tupelo Mississippi in January 1935 and died at his Graceland mansion in August 1977 aged 42.
A TV documentary was made and a number of newspaper articles written in connection with a belief that the singer's ancestors emigrated from the Preseli's.
The slate is a garden ornament at the remote home of Miss Morgan who specifically asked for the location not to be revealed for fear of Elvis fans converging on her home.
Taking up the story she said "My five-year-old niece came into the house and said there was a man in the garden.
"I went outside but couldn't see anyone until my niece pointed to the slate. I was totally taken aback, absolutely amazed. The image was not there when we put the slate in the garden. I just don't know what to think," she said.
Going on to say that one of her friends has already offered a four figure sum for the slate she said "I don't want to sell it. I look at it every day to see if the image is still there."
Shown a picture life-long Elvis fan Gaynor Thomas of Cardigan said: "I'm not entirely convinced it is Elvis but there is a real likeness."
Currently saving to become one of more than 600,000 people who visit Graceland annually she said: "If it becomes possible I will definitely go and see the slate, and I'm sure very many other Elvis fans would be interested."

Strange and ridiculous news, but it does resemble Elvis' '70s style, but it sure is just a coincidence and nothing more... like that piece of bread with the "image" of Mary.

We all know the name Elvis Presley is synonmous with Rock. Nevertheless someone needs to visit Spec-savers.
There again works of art by Barney Flinstone could be of some value..... :-)

The image has a vague resemblance to Elvis. Of course, he will always be remembered as 'The Rock Of Ages'.

I'm willing to offer a sum of £10,000 for the Elvis rock providing it can act and sing.

Stories like this belong in the popluar low brow tabloids, not an established local paper if they are in any way concerned with their credebility.
What can we expect on the front page next week?
Local man abducted by aliens, Elin Jones AM ate my hamster.
Come on Tivyside, a sense of humour is all well and good, but keep this gutter journalism where it belongs and maybee include an "And Finally" section in the paper to print the slightly barmy and irrelevant items like this.
