A new tribute to comedy great Morecambe & Wise will be unveiled at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens on October 14.

The 8ft bronzed statue has been created by sculptor Graham Ibbeson and will be permanently situated in the foyer in the heart of Blackpool—the town regarded as the double act’s "spiritual home" by their families who will attend the unveiling.

The statue celebrates the 75th anniversary of Eric & Ernie first appearing together on stage.
