Eric Morecambe Stage & Statue, Morecambe

Unveiled by the Queen in 1999, the slightly larger than life-sized statue depicts Eric Morecambe in one of his characteristic poses with a pair of binoculars around his neck (he was a keen ornithologist). The Statue is set against the stunning backdrop of Morecambe Bay and the Lake District hills and people queue to have their photo taken alongside the Statue. The Statue and the arena below it are equally sensational at night, with superb lighting effects bathing the area.
