ERIC MORECAMBE - thirty years since his death...

Hello

Tomorrow - Wednesday 28th May 2014 - marks the thirtieth anniversary of the passing of Eric Morecambe. I work for BBC Radio Lancashire, and we're hoping to commemorate the date by getting as many comedy fans to send us a photo of them doing the classic "Eric" pose - one hand behind your head, the opposite leg kicked out behind you just like when Eric and Ernie were dancing off at the end of their show!

All photos will be collated into a work of art, to be shown in our radio theatre in Blackburn, Lancashire...and then they'll be presented to Eric's family, as a lasting memento and a thank you for the years of laughter Eric gave us all.

Can YOU help? Let us have your best "Eric" pose, and you'll be part of a unique tribute to a comedy legend. You can email your pics to garry.scott@bbc.co.uk - Tweet them @BBCLancashire (please hashtag them #ThanksEric ), post them on our Facebook page (search for BBC Lancashire - be part of it) or if you're in the UK you can text them to 81333 (start your message with the word lancs, and your standard message charges will apply)

We're collecting them for the next 24 hours...please spread the word and be part of something great!

Thank you

Garry Scott
