GALLERY – Bringing books alive

From superheroes and footballers to astronauts and classic book characters – they were all brought to life thanks to World Book Day.

Hundreds of children from across the district got into the spirit and went to school or nursery dressed as their favourite book characters.

Thank you to everyone who sent us their pictures – here’s a selection showing some of the amazing costumes.
