Twenty eight years ago today Elvis Presley died.

Any one old enough to remember, what were you doing exactly twenty eight years ago on this day?

I was camping with the Boy's Brigade in Scarborough, and hating it.

I remember walking miles and miles by myself along the coastal path to phone my parents. I'd been brought up with Elvis's music, and it felt like we had lost someone we knew, daft I know.

I've never been back to Scarborough since, and have only been camping twice since, and that was under duress.
