AFTER weeks of planning and preparation World Book Day finally arrived today and pupils didn’t disappoint.
Thousands of children have been dressing up as their favourite book characters for schools, nurseries and playgroups - and even the teachers have been joining in the fun.
From Matildas and Mary Poppins to witches and Where’s Wallys, parents in Sussex have excelled themselves for the event, which is this year celebrating its 23rd anniversary.
We asked you to share your pictures with us and they’ve been coming in thick and fast.
Make sure you pick up next week’s paper for more pictures.
