World Book Day gallery: Bookworms go barmy again this year




World Book Day saw Suffolk book lovers and some over the Norfolk border either taking in their favourite reads, dressing as their favourite characters or having a school pyjama days.

Everything from Harry Potter, Matilda's Miss Trunchbull to The Very Hungry Caterpillar was celebrated by budding bookworms.

Here is a gallery of some of the pictures which were sent into us:
