ELVIS is bark in the building - in the shape of a tree.

The heart-throb's familiar quiff was spotted in the form of this ivy-covered elm in a country field.

Jon Rowley, 33, who took the photograph in Glewstone, near Ross-on-Wye, said: “I was just driving along one day and it stuck out like a sore thumb.

“I'm not much of an Elvis Presley fan, but I just noticed that unique quiff straight away and said, 'That tree looks like Elvis'.

“It's a tree-mendous likeness. I can’t believe nobody has spotted it before.

“Elvis may be dead, but it's nice to know that he lives on in the heart of the British countryside.”
