Children across Burnley and Padiham pulled out all the stops for World Book Day.

Held yesterday, schools and nurseries across the borough asked children to dress as their favourite characters from a book and the response was tremendous.

From Mary Poppins and Captain America to Mr Tickle and Harry Potter, there was even an enterprising duo who put their own slant on the day by dressing as words from a book.
