IT'S World Book Day today and we're really looking forward to seeing pictures of local children dressed as their favourite characters from literature!

All you have to do is click on the blue button at the bottom of this report and we'll upload your pictures straight to the Hereford Times website today. We'll also publish as many as we can in print in next week's paper.

World Book Day is a charity that promotes reading for pleasure, offering every child and young person the chance to have a book of their own.

It says reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success – more than their family circumstances, their parents’ educational background or their income.
