Elvis Presley fans marking the 12th anniversary of the King’s death filed solemnly past his poolside Graceland grave in a candlelight procession early Wednesday, carrying tapers lighted from a torch fired from an eternal flame at the entertainer’s graveside. The procession was part of a Tuesday night/Wednesday morning vigil that Memphis, Tenn., police said drew 3,000 to 4,000 participants. Presley died on Aug. 16, 1977. The vigil was the largest event of Elvis International Tribute Week, a nine-day lineup of concerts, memorials and fan get-togethers.
