'What The Ladybird Heard' author and illustrator celebrated with special post boxes

Special post boxes honouring British authors and illustrators have been unveiled to mark World Book Day.

The transformed post boxes are in Sheffield, London, Cardiff, Belfast and Oban, with locations picked due to a link to the writers or their books.

The boxes carry QR codes linking to free services by the authors involved.

Julia Donaldson, who wrote What the Ladybird Heard with Sheffield-based illustrator Lydia Monks, said: "I am really looking forward to seeing the finished post box. What a great idea.

"Maybe children can post some stories or pictures to their friends and family."
