One Twitter user was very pleased to see Halifax on TV this morning: "How fantastic to wake up to see @GMB choosing @ThePieceHall for today’s venue to celebrate #Yorkshire Day! 5m visitors in 2 years is simply remarkable @nickychanthomp"

The broadcast comes as the Grade I listed Halifax landmark celebrates its second anniversary following a £19 million project to restore it, as well as the news that five million visitors have passed through The Piece Hall's gates in that time.
