Robbie Williams cried "happy tears" after buying Eric Morecambe's glasses and pipe.
The 'Angels' hitmaker - who turns 51 on 13 February - has revealed he was the mystery bidder who splashed out £20,000 at an auction last month to win the comedy legend's Metzler specs in imitation tortoiseshell, a Barling briar pipe and two photos of the late star, and explained he always viewed Eric as "an uncle of sorts" who he aspired to be like.
