It’s coming home ... fans love England win

get through. I’ve asked for plans to be drawn up to see how we can accommodate a big screen now that we are through to the semis.”

Sharing in the celebrations afterwards on Twitter was Huddersfield MP Barry Sheerman, who tweeted: “Very happy with England’s brilliant performance! Well done guys. Very proud of you!”

Labour colleague and Colne Valley MP Thelma Walker simply tweeted: “Yessss!”

Calder Valley Conservative MP Craig Whittaker enthused: “Well done England. Great performance. We’re in the semi-final. Incredible.”

Huddersfield Town commercial director Sean Jarvis contended himself with a Three Lions emoji.

However, West Yorkshire Police highlighted the downside of the occasion – reporting a big rise in 999 calls on Saturday.

The force logged 2,307 calls to the 999 emergency service on Saturday – the highest figure for any day of the year so far.

In one eight-hour period, officers took 1,326 treble-nine calls – about equal to the average number of calls over a 24-hour period.

That followed a “tough day” on Friday when there were 1,901 calls to 999.

Saturday also saw 297 domestic incidents logged – up 75% on the same day last year.

And officers reported a big “spike” in 101 calls. Call handlers received 2,649 calls to the 101 number on Saturday – the highest figure for the past 10 Saturdays.

In total, the force said that compared to an average Saturday, call handlers received an extra 1,098 calls in areas such as public order, domestic incidents and anti-social behaviour.

The England game also coincided with a protest by Far Right marchers and a counter-demonstration by anti-fascists which saw ugly scenes in Leeds city centre.

A police officer sustained cuts to his face and a suspected broken nose when he was hit by a bottle.

Police made three arrests during the demonstrations which closed a number of roads and brought traffic to a standstill.

About 250 Far Right protesters took part in the first march organised by the ‘Yorkshire Patriots’ group and in support of jailed EDL founder Tommy Robinson.

A counter-protest by Leeds AntiFascist Network saw 750 people take to the streets. Among them was Dalton Labour councillor Mus Khan, Kirklees Council’s Cabinet member for health.

She posted a picture on Twitter which said: “Good anti-racism demo in Leeds. Nice to see comrades from Kirklees.”
