Budapest’s city council has named Elvis Presley an honorary citizen of the Hungarian capital in gratitude for his support of Hungary’s anti-Soviet revolution of 1956. The announcement comes nearly a month after municipal authorities named a small park — chosen by voting on the city website — after The King. On Jan. 6, 1957, during his last appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show
,” Elvis sang a gospel standard, “Peace in the Valley,” which Sullivan said reflected the singer’s concern for Hungarians’ plight after the short-lived uprising. Sullivan said Elvis wanted people to make donations to be sent to Hungary.The titles will be announced at a ceremony on June 19, the anniversary of the last Soviet troops pulling out of Hungary in 1991.
