Mark Wright as Elvis On My Mind entertained at the Rockinghorse Independence Day event.
Elvis paid a special visit to Brighton earlier this month. He performed at the Rockinghorse Independence Day event on Thursday 4 July.
We partnered with the Holiday Inn on Brighton seafront to present an American-themed fundraising evening at Stock Burger Co.
