9th April 2008. Promenade, Morecambe. Bronze statue of the town's most famous celebrity: Eric Morecambe. (Thora Hird and Victoria Wood must be a bit miffed although, arguably, the latter isn't dead yet).
Eric took a new surname from his place of birth and his comedy partner initially used his own hometown as an alias too.
'Morecambe and Leeds' didn't work, but 'Morecambe and Wise' did.
Although not being too great a photo due to sun glare, it is quite a rare shot. This is because at almost every other time of day or night the statue is flanked by at least two people also doing the 'Give Me Sunshine' pose.
