Jailhouse rock: Elvis memorabilia goes up for sale

A DATE has been set for an auction of Elvis Presley memorabilia, which was confiscated from a thief, it was announced yesterday.

Julie Wall’s vast collection — numbering thousands of individual items — will go under the hammer next month to repay the £600,000 (€883,299) she siphoned from her employers.

The Crown Prosecution Service is hoping the sale will attract huge interest in the run-up to the 30th anniversary of the King’s death on August 16.
