The annual charity event is held across the UK and the Republic of Ireland on the first Thursday in March. On the day every child in full-time education is provided with a voucher to be spent on books. It was first celebrated in 1998 and has gone from strength to strength with school staff and pupils dressing up as their favourite characters.

We would love to see your child's pictures from this year's World Book Day. We would love to see the fabulous outfits they dressed up in. Fill in the form below and let us show Telegraph & Argus readers how great they looked, and give other youngsters some ideas for next year.
