Children dressed as their favourite characters to celebrate World Book Day in schools, nurseries and homes across the High Peak.

The annual literacy celebration on Thursday, March 2, say parents and children cobble together some magical creations once again.

An appeal for photos on Facebook prompted a flood of pictures as happy families shared the fruits of their labour.
