Elvis fans can now see photos from Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley's trip to Memphis for Elvis Week 2012. The new photo gallery goes backstage at the 35th Anniversary Concert and looks at their time spent at Graceland.

The entire Presley family joined thousands of Elvis fans during Elvis Week to celebrate Elvis' legacy. Lisa Marie and Priscilla made several guest appearances including a surprise welcome during the Candlelight Vigil on August 15, 2012. Both women thanked the massive crowd at the gates of Graceland and praised fans for continuing to keep his memory alive 35 years later.

"I've always avoided this because I felt that it would be too emotional, but I really felt it was important to come down here tonight," said Lisa Marie to the crowd. "I love you very, very, very much."

Lisa Marie also gave fans a special video tribute during the 35th Anniversary Concert which featured family photos and a duet with her father singing "I Loved You Because." Priscilla narrated segments during the concert and saluted her former husband in the final performance of the evening.

Lisa Marie told the Hollywood Reporter, "It was important for me to show that he's carrying on through me and my children."

Both women surprised fans again the next day when they appeared on the Elvis Week Main Stage. Lisa Marie joked with her mother and shared stories of growing up as the King of Rock 'n' Roll's daughter. Both said there was no place in the world they would rather be than at the 35th celebration of Elvis' life.
