Lisa Marie Presley's grave is adorned with flowers as she's laid to rest next to her son

Lisa Marie Presley has been laid to rest beside her dad Elvis Presley and her son Benjamin Keough after she suffered a double cardiac arrest earlier this month.

Fans were invited to pay their respects at a public memorial on Sunday and adorned her grave with flowers and photographs.

Lisa Marie, the only daughter of music icon Elvis, died on January 12 at the age of 54 after being rushed to hospital in cardiac arrest.

An emotional memorial service took place at her father's Memphis mansion, Graceland, earlier today before she was buried next to her late son and father.

Benjamin sadly died by suicide in 2020 at the age of 27.

Ahead of the burial, Benjamin's resting place had to be moved slightly to make space for his mum's.

After the public memorial, which had been live-streamed to fans around the world, Lisa Marie's marble sarcophagus could be seen covered in bouquets, teddy bears and special messages.

Mourners gathered at her graveside to bow their heads and pay their respects.

Outside Graceland, fans lined the streets as they gathered in mourning, leaving messages of support for Lisa Marie's family as well as pictures of the star throughout her life.

During Lisa Marie's memorial, her mother Priscilla Presley held back tears as she thanked people for coming together to remember her daughter.

She said: "I'm blown away by how many people are here today."

The 77-year-old then read something written by one of Lisa's children as she explained to mourners: "I'm going to read something that my granddaughter wrote for all of you.

"The old soul, this is a poem... 'I have no idea how to put my mother into words. Truth is, there are too many.

"'Lisa Marie Presley was an icon, a role model, a superhero to so many people all over the world. But momma was my icon, my role model, my superhero in much more ways than one'."

Priscilla finished her speech saying: "My heart is missing her love. She knew that I loved her."

A poem by Riley Keough, Lisa Marie's daughter, was also read out: "I remember how every time you'd leave town you'd bring me a new tea set. I remember the notes you would leave in my lunchbox everyday.

"I remember how it felt to be loved by the most loving mother in the world. Thanks for showing me that love is the only thing that matters in this life."

It continued: "I hope I can love my daughter that way you loved me. The way you love my brother and my sisters.

"Thank you for giving me strength, my heart, my empathy, my courage, my sense of humour.

"My manners, my temper, my wildness, my tenacity. I’m a product of your heart. My sisters are a product of your heart. My brother is a product of your heart.

"We are you. You are us My eternal love. I hope you finally know how loved you were here. Thank you for trying so hard for us. If I didn’t tell you every day, thank you."
