  • "Just a statue with loads of people taking pictures, I wouldn't say it was a tourist attraction, but it's something to look at when you walk along the run down promenade."
  • "Statue is fine. Morecambe, sadly, like so many seaside towns these days looks tired and rundown."

  • "Visited June 2015. Growing up in the seventies, Morecambe and Wise were part of a TV 'diet' that was rich in great comedy, and they were widely regarded as the best in the business."
  • "What a dump,every thing shut,litter all over,graffiti in abundance.This place has no soul,no life,and no hope."
  • "It's a good tribute to a brilliant comedian as long as you know who Eric Morecambe is. Younger generations will be lost with it and think it's just another pointless statue."
