Elvis Ain't Dead, according to the latest single from grammatically challenged pop group Scouting for Girls, but while their evidence is that they 'heard him on the radio', we can go further and record a sighting of the great man and alleged fried squirrel fan at Middlesex Law Society's recent fundraising quiz, held in the rock 'n' roll surrounds of Ealing Town Hall. (Famously, Elvis only set foot in the UK briefly, on a stopover at Prestwick Airport on his return from military service in Germany - until now, that is.)
Pictured is Laura Murphy, a trainee at IBB, clearly overwhelmed as she accepts first prize in the quiz. Prince Evans came second (left of the picture is the firm's Steve Chapman), while 7 New Square Chambers (represented by Zeeshan Dhar, far right) was joint third with Vickers & Co.
The teams raised £750 for the Variety Club Charity on the night.
