Thousands of pupils across Oxfordshire dressed as their favourite characters for World Book Day.
Schools were delighted to be able to give the celebration of children's books their full attention last week after it was disrupted by the pandemic in 2020 and 2021.

This year's event was the 25th anniversary.

A spokesperson said: "Sharing stories together for just ten minutes a day will encourage a love of reading and it’s fun for everyone!
"You can read together anywhere and everywhere, from breakfast to bedtime! In the park, on the train, on the sofa, on a plane – reading and sharing stories can happen anywhere at any time."
