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 Warrington 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.

She's not only gone and beaten cancer once, she's beat it three times round and had four life saving operations. She's come out stronger than ever - she's absolutely incredible!🦾 She goes above and beyond for anyone - she'd give her last. Nothing is ever too much for her and she deserves the world!🌍 She's got a heart made out of pure gold!❤️ Thank you for everything you've done for us and continue to do. You're not just the best mum in the world, you're the best nan to all your grandkids as well. They all adore and love you!❤️ Happy Mother's Day mum.

What makes your mum the best?My mum is my best friend. We are so close and we talk every single day. She is a fantastic nanna and great nanna to our ever growing family. Unfortunately, my mum had a bad fall in November, which resulted in 10 broken ribs and a punctured lung. She was in Intensive care and we nearly lost her numerous times, which broke our hearts, but she continued fighting. She is now in rehab, where she has learned to walk again after a very long time in hospital and we are so close to getting her home with her family to make more precious memories. Please stay strong mum - you are loved more than you will ever know and you need to know how special you are to us all.
