There is a large police presence in Bradford this afternoon as football fans arrive in the city centre ahead of today's League One clash between Bradford City and Preston North End at Valley Parade.
A large Preston contingent has been arriving in Bradford over the last two hours ahead of the eagerly-anticipated Roses clash.
Police have gathered outside several city centre pubs between Bradford Interchange and Valley Parade to ensure the fixture passes off smoothly.
Mounted police are also on patrol in Bridge Street and Sunbridge Road to provide a visible police presence.
Police have not reported any trouble so far and the scenes have been good-natured in the city centre, with many people taking time out to enjoy the City Park water feature.
