A YORK man who first sailed one of his model boats in Rowntree Park in 1948 said he's "never seen it like this".
The 86-year-old model boat enthusiast, Eric Coates, first visited the park as a 10-year-old boy.
Later becoming a member of York Model Boat Club, the Heworth man has built a variety of model boats in incredible detail.
"I'm home alone, after all these years it's something to do," Eric said.
