Huddersfield Town's great win over Championship leaders Burnley was almost overshadowed – by the sunset.
Mark Robins’ men beat their visitors 2-1 but late in the game, the crowd’s attention was drawn to the stunning skies above the John Smith’s Stadium.
It echoed the famous saying “Red sky at night” completely with spectacular shades of reds, orange and pink.
Examiner photographer Julian Hughes captured the sunset in all its glory, as did Town fan Steve Cheesbrough from his seat high in the Fantastic Media stand and fellow supporter Mark Brereton.
“It was certainly spectacular,” said Steve.
The sunset was repeated across the whole of Yorkshire, and Huddersfield weather expert Paul Stevens said it was a perfect example.
“There were alto cumulus clouds at about 9,000 feet and they refracted the light from the setting sun.
“There were people Tweeting pictures of the amazing sunset from all over Yorkshire, right up to the east coast, and it was the perfect weather for it.
“It was a cold but bright weekend and as we head into this week it stays much the same.
“Wednesday may see things turn a little cooler and as we reach the end of the week, we may see the odd shower or two.
“It will be cold enough on Thursday and Friday for those showers to fall as sleet or snow, so don’t be surprised if we get a covering of snow on the hills.
“But the winds will quickly pick up later in the day and blow away the showers and it should remain dry.
“The people who are going to the Festival of Light in Huddersfield on Friday and Saturday will need to wrap up warm, as temperatures could drop just below freezing.
“But temperatures for the next few weeks should stay at or just above average for December.”
