A candid photo of Elvis Presley holding his baby daughter is one of a collection of never-before-seen images of the King of rock ‘n’ roll to have been unearthed. Lisa Marie, the sole child of Elvis and his wife Priscilla, grew up at Graceland in Memphis and was only nine years old when her father died in 1977. She has since gone on to have her own music career, releasing three studio albums.

The series of photographs were taken in the late 1960s and early 1970s and include this shot of the singer in a garish yellow shirt casually holding a beer. The photos were in a storage lockup for many years before being bought by a British collector.

Prior to the auction, a spokesman for Omega said: ‘There are four polaroid photographs which, as per their nature, are unique so will all certainly be unseen and unpublished. They came from a gentleman who bought the contents of a storage lockup’. One of four pictures showing Elvis Presley (right) riding a horse with friends on his ranch in Memphis.
