TODAY is World Book Day, and children across the UK have been dressing up as their favourite fictional characters.

We asked readers of The Argus to send in snaps of their children in fancy dress, and received a FANTASTIC response.

Below are just some of your crazy costumes! Check out the gallery above for more. We will be publishing more both online and in print. We will have a supplement of school pictures in the printed newspaper on Friday, March 11.
