The Queen "?" anchor 45 years ago

I believe that’s a king, Jim.

Someone mentioned to me, today, it’s 45 years since Elvis died, so I guess it might be something to do with that. How the footballer and anchor pics fit, I have no idea.

Anyone?

I got as far as one of the seven wonders of the world.
TSOZAO.

But I'm stuck on the last two clues.

Ruby?
Dee?
Ass?

I was looking for notables by the name of phoebe/phoe/fe and that actress came up.

Never heard of her, either! 😉

Ahh, passed away…

So it must be:
The
King
Passed
Anchors Away
45
Years
Agogo


We’ve been away for four days, in the mountains. No reception! So I couldn’t monitor this rebus. @Charlemagne1333 nailed it. Elvis died April 16, 45 years ago.

Pardon me boy............

Jeepers,

This morning, I was involved sending a lengthy email in reply to one that I opened, this morning. Instead of checking the rebus thread. I had the answer, but too late!

My late father-in-law had an amusing play on words, parodying that title. It goes:

Pardon me Roy, is that the cat that got you new shoes!

Hilarious!
I was almost going to use that as the answer. I remember my Dad used to sing it quietly to himself when working on the car.

Continuing on a theme. Nobody shown among the clues is included in the answer. Give me title and composer.

I’ve had a couple of ales, so I can think clearly now.

It’s a clever puzzle, so I think I’ll leave the workings for others to ponder 😀

Well done!! That was a tough none for me. I got the Grand Canyon but that was it.
