Bermuda's friendliest man

Meet Bermuda's friendliest man.

86 year old Johnny Barnes can be found at the Crow Lane roundabout in Hamilton, Bermuda every day between 3:45am and 10am, rain, hail or shine.

He calls out to drivers and passers-by with his signature greeting - "Good Morning! I love you!"

Johnny has become something of a tourist attraction.

There's a statue of him at the roundabout, and there is a mention of him in most guidebooks to the island.

And now Johnny has received a ‘People of Hope' award from his church during the 2009 Bermuda Seventh-day Adventist Camp Meetings.
