Children in Leighton Buzzard donned their best costumes and themed outfits to mark World Book Day yesterday (March 7).
The day was first celebrated in the UK over 25 years ago, and is recognised in over 100 countries around the world. Each child in full-time education gets a token to spend on books, encouraging them to discover the love of reading.
Here are just a few of the fantastic costumes – sent in by our readers.
If you’d like to add your child to the gallery, email us at [email protected] and include the child’s name, age and character they’re dressed as.
