A group of friends have taken a homeless man to the PDC World Darts Championship in London.
The men, from Bournemouth, Dorset, had a spare ticket to the sporting event at Alexandra Palace.
Instead of reselling it, they decided to give it to a homeless man in London and then pay for his food and drinks for the entire evening, as well as give him a hotel room for the night.
One of the men, Craig Wells, said: “It’s not about the money. We could have got £75 back but he really enjoyed it… and he’ll remember it for the rest of his life.”
The friends, all dressed in Mexican costumes, came up with the idea while drinking at a London venue before Wednesday’s event.
Mr Wells said: “We had a pull-out and instead of selling the ticket back, my friend Jamie said: ‘Why don’t you take the homeless guy?’, who was sitting outside the boozer at the time.
“So he went out and took it. We just said to him: ‘What are you doing tonight?’ He said: ‘Not very much’, and he started laughing at us.
“And so we went and bought him a pint of Guinness and said: ‘You come with us.’
“The only thing we didn’t have was a sombrero for him.”
The friends’ guest, a Scotsman called John, turns out to be a darts fan.
Mr Wells explained: “He said to a friend of mine, it’s on his bucket list – he’s always wanted to go to darts.
“The funny thing was, they fought the bull’s-eye… and he got a free drink out of it.
“We were all trying and he comes along, puts his first dart in the bull’s eye. You just can’t get it done.
“At least we fulfilled his dream. He didn’t get much in life but he got something to remember now.”
