World Book Day in Kent - your photos

by Lauren Abbott

From Mad Hatters to Harry Potters and Willy Wonkas - they're all heading off into school this week for World Book Day.

Children and teachers across the county have been dressing as their favourite book characters for the national celebration.

World Book Day is held every year to celebrate the magic of stories and pictures, and to show just how much fun books and reading can be.

Here are some of your pictures:
