Am I right in thinking it is a Garden Tiger--Arctia caja? It was very striking to look at and I don't think I've seen one before. Is the yellow stripe on wing edges part of the underwing?

Moth in Todmorden
I saw this moth early afternoon today at Sunnybank Todmorden. It was flying around and came to rest on an Oak leaf.
