Youngsters across the Harrogate district got into the spirit of World Book Day by dressing up as their favourite characters.

Thousands of children and families across the district showed off their creativity with a host of marvellous costumes.

The day aims to encourage reading for pleasure amongst children and is promoted in more than 100 countries around the globe.
