'It's hard to celebrate your mum without falling in to a trap of trite clichés but since becoming a mum last year, I've appreciated motherhood on a whole new level. There is no role more selfless, special and all-encompassing. I love you, Mum. Oh, and what did you do with that jacket? I need it immediately.'

'Here we are on holiday wearing totally appropriate hiking gear - is that a double breasted suit jacket?
Anyway, the point is, she's great. We laugh hard and we cry hard. We're more alike than we know.
To a wonderful mother, happy mothers day'

Emma King, Deputy Chief Sub Editor
"My mum's the strongest, fiercest person I know. As one of the first black, female police inspectors in the force, I'm insanely proud of her. Her and my dad raised us to be respectful and considerate with a strong moral compass, which me, my brother and sister are grateful for. She's been through a tough year (losing her mother, my grandmother) but she always carries on, no matter what. Thanks mum."
