Children across Saffron Walden, Great Dunmow and surrounding areas are dressing up as their favourite fictional characters to celebrate World Book Day.
World Book Day is held every year on the first Thursday in March to celebrate books and reading, and every child in full-time education receives a voucher to spend on books.
Send us your pictures for a chance to be featured in the Saffron Walden Reporter and Dunmow Broadcast!
