World Book Day: 31 delightful photos of children celebrating their favourite literary characters in Lancashire

It’s World Book Day, and children all over Lancashire have been celebrating by dressing up as their favourite literary characters!

This morning, we asked our readers to share photos of their little ones' fantastic costumes – and they certainly delivered.

We received an overwhelming number of amazing submissions – nearly 300 in total – so we’ve created multiple photo galleries to showcase them all.

You can check out the first gallery HERE, but don’t miss the stunning costumes featured below which showcase even more creative ideas:
