A new mural of Eric Morecambe was unveiled on Morecambe's seaside promenade as part of a centenary festival marking what would have been his 100th birthday. The events honor John Eric Bartholomew, the comic born in 1926 WHO rose to national fame as one half of the Morecambe and Wise duo. The town already features a bronze statue of Morecambe, and organisers are using the anniversary to spotlight his 'Bring Me Sunshine' legacy and boost cultural tourism in Morecambe.
