Eric Morecambe's wife Joan, his daughter Gail and his son Gary did the honours and say it's appropriate that it's been placed here in Blackpool where the comedy duo performed more than a thousand times.
The statue has been created by Graham Ibbetson, the same man who made the iconic Eric statue that has been on Morecambe promenade since 1999.
