Families from across Oxfordshire have joined in celebrations for Mother's Day.
We asked people to send in photos of their mums and lots of people posted family snaps on the Oxford Mail's Facebook page.
Some lucky families will get the chance to meet up today while for others it is a chance to remember loved ones who have passed away.
Sarah Williams posted a photo saying: "My beautiful mum, no longer with us sadly."
And Ella Tuppenney-Hockney said: "My mum Lynda is my rock, my best friend my role model."

Lucy Brown posted: "My lovely mum Sylvia Talbot with my son Peter."
And Mimi Bolton below added: "My mumma - what a babe."
Mothering Sunday takes place on the fourth Sunday in the festival of Lent, exactly three weeks before Easter Sunday.
This is thought to have started in the Middle Ages, when children who had left their families to work in domestic service were allowed to go to their home - or 'mother' - church.
Mother’s Day itself began in America in 1907.
Whilst Nigeria joins the UK and Ireland in celebrating mothers on the fourth Sunday of Lent, most countries around the world follow America’s lead in celebrating the holiday on the second Sunday in May, which this year is May 8.
Others - including Russia, Vietnam and Afghanistan - mark the occasion on International Women’s Day on March 8.
In France the festivities are traditionally celebrated on the last Sunday of May but it is moved to the first Sunday of June if it coincides with Pentecost.
Father's Day is on June 19.
