The King would have turned 90 this month and we are paying our own tribute to Elvis with these 11 archive views of Wearside people dressed as the singer.
If Elvis is always on your mind, here are some Sunderland reminders from the New Beginners Nursery in Southwick in 2007, the Boxing Day dip at Seaburn in 2006 and the Royalty Theatre in 2008.
And while we are on the topic of entertainment, enjoy our video footage of Sunderland’s cinemas in the past.
