Celebration of all those much-loved mothers ...
MUMS do so much for us and ask for so little in return.
Yesterday we celebrated the thousands of Huddersfield mums who are cherished and loved by their children.
To mark Mother’s Day we asked readers to post your selfies with mum on our Facebook page – and we were flooded with pictures!
More than 200 came in which are all available to see on our website.
Many readers shared touching stories with their pictures.

I was searching for her the whole time and I finally found her last year and we were reunited a few months later. I won’t be able to see her this Mother’s Day as she’s still in Hong Kong, but I can finally talk to her and know she’s safe this year.”
Sabba Siddiqui said: “Me and my beautiful mum Shabana Begum. This woman is just so amazing and fights hard for people to live. I don’t know what I’d do without her. She’s fought and won a battle with Hepatitis C but going through that never stopped her being there for me and my brothers.”
And Kim Rowbottom said: “This is me and my mum. She’s battling the dreaded C right now and has been the strongest women I know, always doing things for others and never asks for anything in return. She is my whole word and don’t say it enough but I love you mum xx.”
