DARRYL ASHTON: Just for the record: I am also a published poet. And I do stand-up comedy. And the Queen is certainly a very remarkable lady. It really was an honour to meet her. |

DARRYL ASHTON: The two trophy's on the left are what I won when I received first prize in a world wide poem competition about Elvis Presley. They were presented to me by Graceland. Hope you like them. I do feel very honoured. I'm the only poet in the world to achieve such an honour! It sure puts any Fanstory Trophy in the shade! |

DARRYL ASHTON: GREAT NEWS: I am travelling to Graceland next Monday to actually read my 'prize-winning' Elvis Presley poems which (WON) me first prize in a poetry competition celebrating the life of Elvis Presley. I'm actually reading my poems to an invited audience which is being filmed for U.S. TV! Now to me - that really is one "BIG HONOUR"! I also won a fabulous Bronze statue of Elvis Presley and a Trophy. But my biggest surprise was when I received the "INVITE" to actually go to Graceland! And at their expense! It is part of a world-wide event to commemorate the 35th anniversary of his death. This has never been done before - especially by someone from the UK! However, when I informed my local newspaper - of this incredible achievement they just didn't want to know! Shame on them! However, I did receive a letter from the Queen - who actually "CONGRATULATED" me! I will be taking copies of my new book - which is highlighted on my wall. Wish me luck, folks! PS. My prize-winning Elvis poems - and my very satirical Interview with Elvis - are all featured in my book. My World Of Poems. Please do visit my website for a tour at...www.comedypoet.wordpress.com Thank You All So Very Much. Best Wishes to you all - and, of course, the late, Sir Elvis Presley! From Darryl Ashton. |
