An Elvis Presley fan is paying tribute to his idol by travelling the world dressed as the King in a white jumpsuit, black bouffant wig and shades.
Matt Hale, 38, has so far visited Australia, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, USA, Ireland, France, Austria, Holland, Italy and Spain in his year-long tour.
After a short break back in England the radio producer, 38, will travel to Sweden, then Russia, China, Hong Kong, and finally Bali.
Mr Hale, from Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, said: "I love Elvis and when I saw the suit in a bargain shop I just had to buy it. I thought wearing it round the world would be a good way to honour the King of Rock and Roll and it seems to have worked as I've attracted loads of attention."
Although Mr Hale has had lots of support on his trip, not everyone has taken to the Elvis look. Security guards at the Louvre art gallery in Paris threw him out for wearing unsuitable clothing.
And he was also asked to leave the lost Inca city of Machu Picchu in Peru and Evita's cemetery in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
