Children from across Glasgow geared up in new pinafores, shirts, blazers and schoolbags yesterday as they made a return to school for the first time in almost five months.
A wave of emotions were shared among parents and guardians at school gates as they waved their wee ones off on their return to a new normal.
Our sister paper, the Glasgow Times, asked you to share your pictures of your youngster's special day back at school and we were flooded with images of beaming smiles, pigtails and crisp uniforms.
It was safe to say that the kids must have had a great day on their first day back as we were inundated with 'after' photos of the children once they returned home to their parents and guardians.
We've decided to share some of the funniest ones with you.
We hope all the children who retund to school yesterday had a great day and we wish them all the luck for the year ahead.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
