Elvis lead Austin Butler attends the memorial service for Lisa Marie Presley, who died earlier this month following a cardiac arrest.

Elvis star Austin Butler was among the mourners in attendance for the memorial service of Lisa Marie Presley on Sunday.

The daughter of music legend Elvis Presley died unexpectedly on January 12 at the age of 54 following a cardiac arrest, just two days after this year's Golden Globes.

Lisa Marie had been at the ceremony to support Butler, who is among the favourites this awards season for his acclaimed portrayal of her father in Elvis - a role he worked on for two years in a process which saw him become close to the Presley family.

She had previously written of his Elvis portrayal: "Austin Butler channeled and embodied my father's heart and soul beautifully. In my humble opinion his performance is unprecedented and FINALLY done accurately and respectfully."

Butler, 31, arrived for the memorial service in Graceland on Sunday with girlfriend Kaia Gerber and the couple was reportedly seated on the second row, right behind Lisa Marie's family.

Elvis director Baz Luhrmann and the film's costume designer, his wife Catherine Martin, were also in attendance.

Butler was named Best Actor at the Globes and could repeat the feat at next month's BAFTA and Oscar ceremonies.
