A young father from Todmorden has shared his terrifying experience ... Earlier on Saturday, flood sirens had sounded throughout the Calder Valley, warning of imminent flooding.

Flood sirens sounded in parts of Calderdale on Saturday, with river levels around Todmorden exceeding 2.4m (7.9ft) - 34cm (1ft) short of levels during the Boxing Day floods of 2015.

The A646 Halifax Road, between Hebden Bridge and Todmorden, is now due to reopen on 13 January. Those behind the scheme in Todmorden say it will create "a vibrant and green town square".
