SPECIAL guest James Barnes hopes to see more of the Great Yorkshire Show this year than he did on his first visit in 1926.
The 88-year-old, who won a free ticket as a young dairy farm worker, saw nothing of the event.
Instead, he spent his time waiting outside the beer tent while a colleague got drunk inside.
As instructed, he then kept guard as his friend slept off his excesses under a tree.
Mr Barnes, from Hull, was invited to join the show organisers yesterday after he wrote to tell them of his experience.
