With the summer holidays (finally) over, we have a selection of your Back to School snaps.

More than 60,000 children set off for their first day of the new school year in Aberdeen City and Shire today.

We asked readers to share snaps of their children going back to school or starting school.

We’ve been sent some fantastic pictures of boys and girls looking smart and excited in their uniforms – with more continuing to arrive.

Here’s a selection below – and we’ll add more as and when they come in.
