It was World Book Day on Thursday, March 3 and children across Cheshire West and Chester dressed up as their favourite fictional character for the occasion.

In celebration of books, authors, illustrators and most importantly reading, we have put together a gallery of photos filled with your mini Harry Potters, Little Red Riding Hoods, Gruffalos and many more.

If you’d like your child’s photo in our gallery, tweet us @ChesterChron with the full name, character and school name. Alternatively, you can post them to our Facebook page or email cheshire.news@trinitymirror.com.
