The RAF choppers flew over the city centre, heading north, at about 9.45am.

It's believed to be part of a training exercise.

Bob Peters captured the Chinook helicopters from the ground.

He said: "The photography gods are being good to me today, though the sky's a bit misty.

"Two RAF Chinook helicopters over Leeds heading roughly north about 15 mins ago. Quite a noise!"

Leeds residents took to community Facebook group LeedsPlace to report their sightings of the choppers across the city.

One said: "Seen Chinook helicopter over Horsforth."

Another added: "Training exercises have been going on all week across the city."
