We asked you to tell us why your mum is ‘the best’ to honour them for Mothering Sunday at the weekend. And we were flooded with responses and photos of some Burnley’s most cherished mothers, grandmothers and other amazing women who go above and beyond for others.

Sylvia Simpson: "Me and my lovely mum, Rita. She’s been an inspiration to me through my life. Being chief child carer when our girls were little and we worked, to being a brilliant Nana to her great grandchildren. ❤️ These days she is struggling with Alzheimer’s but she still knows us all and her face lights up when we bring the littlest great grandsons to see her. She brings such joy to all of us, even though we’re losing her bit by bit, day by day!Love her we do! 🥰" Photo: s
