Around 800 students from Morecambe Bay Academy donned the famous specs and took part in a fun run today to help celebrate 100 years since the birth of Eric Morecambe.
The fun run was started at the Eric Morecambe Statue on Morecambe Prom by Gail and Gary, Eric's daughter and son.
Many of the youngsters did the classic Morecambe and Wise 'Bring Me Sunshine' dance as they set off!
