Couple ‘all shook up’ after seeing face of rock ‘n’ roll icon in a beach towel
When was the last time you felt ‘all shook up’?
Two holidaymakers couldn’t believe it when they spotted the face of a music legend in their beach towel while on a break in Skiathos, Greece.
Dawn Dandy, 55, said: ‘We’d hung the towel up to dry after we’d been sunbathing and were sat on the balcony when I said, “There’s a face in that towel.”‘
The kitchen assistant thought instantly the outline looked like ‘hound dog’ crooner Elvis Presley.
And as it turns out, her husband Nigel and daughter agreed.
Dawn, from Loughborough in Leicestershire, said: ‘Elvis is one of my all time favourites. I grew up listening to him and have always been a big fan.
‘It was quite exciting and funny. My husband and I are both fans of Elvis and we both immediately said it looked like him.’
After taking the picture on August 16, she realised the date was 46 years to the day after his death.
‘It was on the day of the anniversary of his death – it made it quite special really,’ she added.
The king of rock ‘n’ roll died in 1977 at his Graceland home in Memphis, Tennessee.
It’s not the first time his face has seemingly come back from the dead, either.
Lisa Ringsell, 27, from Dundee, did a double-take when she saw him staring back at her from a pot of McDonald’s ketchup last year.
She said: ‘I looked in the pot debating if there was enough sauce to dip again and [that’s when] I saw him.
‘As soon as I saw him, I immediately said “what?” and showed my partner.
‘I said to him “this looks like Elvis”, I took the photo straight away and showed some friends.
‘They were just laughing about it, they could see the resemblance too.’
But she confessed her partner Dean, 26, was not as fussed about the discovery, telling her she gets excited over ‘silly things’.
