Hundreds of photos have surfaced on social media of the two helicopters.

It is not yet known why they are hovering in the city, although there is a suggestion it could be related to an exercise at Leeds General Infirmary, after one copter was seen landing on the hospital's helipad.

The YEP is currently investigating - more to follow.
