STAFF at a popular Glasgow restaurant were all stunned to see none other than Priscilla Presley stop by for dinner tonight.
The famous actress, businesswoman, and former wife of Elvis Presley is currently embarking on her first UK tour, An Evening with Priscilla Presley, with a show planned for the City Halls on Saturday.
The evening will consist of an intimate conversation with radio and TV presenter Edith Bowman and will see Priscilla share personal stories from her career, life and marriage including previously unseen footage of the couple.
Ahead of Saturday's event, Priscilla chose to dine at Murphy's Pakora Bar in Finnieston and took the time to smile for the camera alongside staff members who were clearly delighted to welcome showbiz royalty to Glasgow.
In one photo shared with the Glasgow Times, the star can even be seen signing a menu as a souvenir.
Tesh Majhu, the owner of Murphy's, told the Glasgow Times: "It was such an honour to have her in.
"She's a vegetarian and that's something we specialise in. We can't stress enough how great her and her team were, super polite and gracious.
"We just loved having them in."
A member of the team later took to social media to share a post that read: "What an honour hosting @priscillapresley and her team for dinner, one we certainly won’t forget.
"We would like to mention how lovely each and every one of you was. We hope you had a lovely evening.
"Thank you for choosing Murphy’s."
Priscilla's tour comes after Baz Luhrmann's biopic of The King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis, starring Austin Butler, was released last year.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
