A few years ago I went to Morcambe for the day and I was shocked to hear two teenagers asking their parents who Eric Morcambe was when they were looking at the sculpture! They'd never heard of Eric and Ernie. Their parents didn't do a very good job of explaining who they were either! What a lot of people perhaps don't realise is how near Morcambe is to Lancaster. They've spent a lot on sprucing up the sea front and it looks really lovely on the promenade now.
