Eric Morecambe Statue

One of Morecambe’s most popular attractions and photo opportunities is Graham Ibbeson’s Eric Morecambe statue.

It stands on the Promenade as a tribute to the town’s most famous son and was unveiled by the Queen in 1999.

The life-sized bronze sculpture features the comedy legend in his classic ‘Bring Me Sunshine’ pose; one hand raised and a leg cocked.

I loved Eric and I still love watching his videos. It broke my heart when he died. My dad and I used to watch his shows. It was our highlight on a Saturday night. Don't forget Ernie. They made a great double act. I am going to take a trip to Morecambe sometime this year to see the statue for myself.

Took a detour from Scotland to Plymouth to see the statue with my fiancée. The first time we met we came out of a pub singing "Bring me sunshine". The song is going to be her walk down music at our wedding in October. Another connection was that my Uncle dealt with Eric's travel needs when he lived in Harpenden.He was our favourite comedian and still is. Thanks Eric.

Eric Morecambe was my dad's favourite comedian. It made his day when he got a photo taken next to this statue.

Lyrics from Eric Morecambe's best known song, 'Bring Me Sunshine' are carved into the steps that lead up to the statue.
