Eric Morecambe’s glasses sell for £20,000 at auction

Comedy legend Eric Morecambe’s glasses have sold for £20,000 at auction – far exceeding their estimate of £2,000 to £4,000.

A lifetime of showbiz memorabilia and personal items from the comedian’s former home, Brachefield in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, were put up for sale after his widow, Joan, died aged 97, in March.

A 1978 portrait of the star by the artist Richard Stone went for £15,000, while his ventriloquist dummy Charlie achieved £6,200, twice its highest estimate, during the two-day event.

Charles Hanson, of Hanson Auctioneers in Derbyshire, said: “The prices reflect not only the quality and uniqueness of the items but also the deep affection fans continue to hold for him.”
