'A19 Waving Man' given one last beep by truckers

Truckers have driven down the A19 to say farewell to Barry May, the "Waving Man" of Teesside.

Barry stood on a bridge near Billingham almost every day for 30 years to wave at trucks.

In 2018, circumstances meant he had to say goodbye to a life-long hobby.

For BBC Radio Tees' iPlayer series What's Your Thing?, external, Barry returned for one last wave.
