HAPPY Mother's Day!

Today is Mother's Day - the one day of the year where it’s compulsory to make a fuss and spoil your mum.

But what makes your mum so special?

We asked you, our readers, to share all the reasons why you love your mum.

Does she always put others first and have a heart of gold?

Maybe she helps out with the school run during the week or takes your dog for a walk while you’re at work.

Does she cook a fabulous feast on a Sunday or bake a brilliant birthday cake for her grandchildren?

Whatever makes your mum special, we wanted to hear about it.

Here are some of your special messages.

It's not too late to send your mum a message - just click on the link at the bottom of the page.

Please include a clear photograph - no filtered pictures or montages – their full names, where in St Helens they are from and tell us why you think they are the best.

We will not be able to use any submissions that have missing information.

If your mum has passed away and is no longer with us, you can leave a message for those you have loved and lost here
