Freddie, 31, from Sutton, South London, who took sister Polly, 21, with him said: “I’m not religious or spiritual but I could feel his presence at Graceland.”

The superfan, who also got to touch one of Elvis’s belts and visit his hero’s childhood home in Tupelo, Mississippi said: “At Sun Studios the guide said, ‘In 1956 Elvis came in and sang That’s Alright Mama from that spot’.

‘He then pointed at me — I was standing on the spot Elvis recorded his first song. I couldn’t believe it.

“The trip was amazing, I will never, ever forget it.”

His prize included flights and accommodation thanks to netflights.com and memphistravel.com and tupelo.net arranged Freddie’s Elvis tours.
