We want to see your pictures for our new Take Yer Pic feature on our website and in our newspapers.

It doesn’t matter what they are - they could be selfies, something funny, something strange, a news picture or even a family photo.

We’re looking for the most eye-catching, interesting or amusing photos out there.

Our favourite pic each week will be published on our letters pages in the newspapers and we’ll of course run some of them here too.
