He has posted historic video of Shanklin, with the simple message 'good morning.'

The decades-old scenes appear to be from the tv holiday show 'Wish You Were Here' and also feature presenter Judith Chalmers.

Matt Lucas has 1.2 million followers and has made a habit of sharing vintage films from across the UK, to mark the start of the day.

One response to today's post recalled holidaying here in the 1970s and 80s.

It said: "My auntie lived there [and] she had a B&B.

"I would spend the whole of my summer school holidays there. Six weeks of sun and swimming everyday. Loved it."
