World Book Day was created by UNESCO in 1995 as a global celebration of books and reading and is now marked in more than 100 countries.

Photographer Tony Hendron visited a number of Portadown schools to check out the children’s colourful and imaginative costumes and found that many members of staff had also dressed up to help make the day even more memorable.
