They both thanked fans for their devotion and Lisa Marie revealed why she had never joined in before, telling the crowd, "I've always avoided this because I felt that it would be too emotional, but I really felt it was important to come down here tonight. I love you very, very, very much."

Priscilla added, "This is something that Elvis would never, ever have believed could have taken place here."

Presley died on 16 August 1977 after suffering a heart attack at the age of 42.
