Everyone was talking about Back to the Future day yesterday - but Huddersfield went one better!

October 21, 2015, is the date Marty and Doc travel to in the film Back to the Future Part II and all over the world, people were talking about it.

The films feature a courthouse which bears a striking resemblance to Huddersfield train station - and last night, people were delighted when a DeLorean car like the one in the film appeared in St George's Square!

The car is owned by Daniel Knight, 34, of Honley, who said: "Every kid from the 1980s loves the film and I always wanted to own a DeLorean.

"All my life I've thought the train station looks like the courthouse from the film. We'd always talked about doing a remake in a Yorkshire comedy style but we didn't plan it - so yesterday just seemed like a good time to do it!

"I already had all the props so we just said, 'let's go down and do it - we can't miss out on this!'

"We met a the train station and took some pictures, then went to B&Q. The alternator packed in just before so we took it out and ran it on a battery - which died on the way past Dominoes!"

Graphic designer Daniel said he found the car on eBay four years ago and had it shipped to Portsmouth, picking it up with his friend Tom Ingrey, who dressed up as Doc in the video.

He said: "It was mess - it had no engine and had bits missing.

"I've had it for four years now but it still needs work - I only got it running properly two months ago.

The longest journey I've done in it was to the train station last night and other than that I've only been to Lidl in it!

"We had a great time doing the race, and when someone put it on Facebook people just started turning up - everyone wanted pictures with the car. The buzz in town was amazing - there was a really good vibe and lots of happy people.

"This morning Tom said he was still buzzing - and we have the memories forever."
