One hundred brave firefighters are battling a huge blaze at a historic mill in Keighley this afternoon.

Terrifying pictures and videos show the entirety of Dalton Mills up in flames with West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service crews desperately trying to stop the flames from spreading.

Smoke has been seen billowing for miles across the surrounding parts of the town and the fire service says "100 per cent" of the building has been affected by the fire.
