Celebrate Yorkshire Day, 1 August by wearing the white rose of Yorkshire. 7,000 plastic roses were sold last year through the Keep It Up Partnership between Huddersfield Town and Yorkshire Air Ambulance raising £120,000 for good causes.
While the unpredictable weather this year has been a constant source of complaint - including among gardeners - it has actually helped produce possibly the best ever blooms for Kirklees' summer floral displays.
A 30% increase in violence against partners is anticipated during the World Cup. Domestic violence also affects childen who witness it. Police in West Yorkhire will take a hard line and may use camcorders when arriving at the scene to later use in court.
