Comedy duo Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise have been celebrated with an eight foot (2.4 metres) bronze statue.

The £75,000 sculpture was unveiled at Blackpool's Winter Gardens on Friday by family members of the double act who performed in the seaside town more than 1,000 times during their career.

Created by sculptor Graham Ibbeson, the statue was commissioned to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Morecambe and Wise first appearing on stage together.

Morecambe's son, Gary, said his father would have been "gobsmacked" by the idea of a statue.
