It is just under a week to go until Mother’s Day and the paper is giving you a chance to publicly show your love and thanks for all they’ve done in your life - and we know it’s a lot.

Simply write a message to your mum, along with your name and where you’re from – so she knows it’s from you – to us and we’ll publish them in this week’s paper, just in time for the big day.

Editor Stefan Bartlett said: “We all know that your mum’s the reason why you’ve got to where you are now, helping you through tough and guiding you through the easier times.

“We’re giving you the opportunity to say why your mum is the best and what she’s done for you to publicly give her credit for everything’s she’s done.”

All you have to do is send your message, possibly also a picture of your mum, to editor@saffronwalden-reporter.co.uk.
