PEOPLE across the country are set to celebrate World Book Day on Thursday.

Teachers and their students are among those planning to dress up as their favourite fiction character.

The Lancashire Telegraph will be publishing a special eight-day picture supplement in Friday's paper to mark the occasion.

Book lovers are being called on to send in pictures of themselves transformed on the day to be featured in the edition.

In 2016 dozens were sent to us and this year it's hoped that even more are submitted.

To take part send your snaps to e-mail picturedesk@nqnw.co.uk or get in contact for more information.
