Have a look at these brilliant World Book Day pictures in Bury

Parents have sent us some brilliant pictures of their children depicting some of their favourite characters which are included in this article. 

And as ever, schools have highlighted the efforts made by staff to help youngsters celebrate the annual event.

Can you spot ‘Where’s Ralph’? He is hiding in there somewhere. What a fantastic effort made by everyone today. I cannot wait to see our own ‘Where’s Ralph’ book when it is finished. #sjsbREADING #WorldBookDay2024 @STOC_CAT @BuryTimes pic.twitter.com/oDhuSxzs5A

St Stephen's CE Primary School on Colville Drive turned the event into "Book Week" through a series of exciting activities such as a reading cafe open to the community and a "vocabulary parade".

The vocabulary event involved word games that sparked wit and storytelling sessions.

The children who attended were the school's "junior librarians" who are responsible for championing a love of reading.

One of the residents said it "made his day" and that it also marked his 90th.

One of the junior librarians said: "I loved sharing my favourite book with them and I think they really enjoyed the story." 

Mrs Byers, a member of staff who accompanied the children, added: "What an amazing experience, the children were amazing, so polite and loved reading their books and chatting to the residents."
