It's World Book Day today, and we can't wait to see your amazing costumes!

From Willy Wonka to Harry Potter, every year the children of Dorset go all out when it comes to dressing up as their favourite literary characters.

World Book Day 2021 will be a little more socially distanced. But we still want to help spread the joy by sharing your lovely photographs!

To send us your pictures, just use the link at the bottom of this page. We'll be publishing them all in our gallery this week.

Alternatively, email photos to joanna.davis@dorsetecho.co.uk - please include your child's name and age, and where you live.

Happy dressing up!
