BOOK lovers are celebrating their favourite stories across Wiltshire today as World Book Day returns for its 20th year.

Thousands of feverishly excited children across the county headed to school today, dressing up as Goldilocks, Buzz Lightyear, Snow White, Where's Wally and much more.

Teachers, teaching assistant and school staff wasted no opportunity to join in the fun by getting into the fancy dress spirit as well.

The event sees children across the UK dress as their favourite characters, receive book tokens and join in the events that schools and community groups run to mark the wonder of everything to do with reading.
