Central Radio will host a special live programme to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Eric Morecambe.
We will be live from the comedian's home town of Morecambe from 10am to 3pm on Thursday May 14 - the date of the legendary Lancashire comedian's centenary.
Special guests will be joining us to celebrate Eric's 100th birthday in a five-hour programme presented by Greg Lambert.
The broadcast will also air live on Beyond Radio across Lancaster and Morecambe Bay.
Eric Morecambe, renowned for his TV comic partnership with Ernie Wise, was born John Eric Bartholomew in Morecambe on May 14 1926.
Morecambe and Wise Christmas Show TV specials were massively popular during the 1960s, 70s and 80s, peaking at 28 million viewers in 1977, and the duo is renowned as one of the greatest in comedy history.
Eric died, aged 58, in 1984.
The comic's statue on Morecambe Promenade pulls huge numbers of visitors each year.
A statue was unveiled of Eric and Ernie at Blackpool Winter Gardens in 2016 to celebrate the comedy double act, who performed in Blackpool more than 1,000 times entertaining hundreds of thousands of people, playing several summer seasons and appearing at the Royal Variety Performance in the town.
