Dave Lee (detail)
Bronze statue installed outside the Marlowe Theatre, providing a permanent reminder of the dedicated entertainer Dave Lee who performed more than 1,000 pantos there over 16 years.
The bronze figure, complete with the comedian's trademark bench, was created as a tribute to the "country's most famous and respected panto dame", who died in 2012 aged 64.
The bench includes an inscription of the line, "Well, we'll have to do it again then, won't we? Whoops!" from the comedian's famous ghost gag - a regular feature of his pantos.
A devoted philanthropist, he also raised more than £2 million for his charity, Dave Lee's Happy Holidays, which sent ill and disabled children and their families on trips.
