A yellow postbox marking World Book Day has appeared in Dundee.
The striking design in the city centre is helping celebrate authors and illustrators.
The distinctive postboxes have sprung up across the UK and feature lines from famous books and artwork from the likes of Harry Potter cover illustrator Jonny Duddle.
As well as Dundee, they can be found in Luton, Nannerch in Flintshire and Castlewellan in Northern Ireland, close to places of significance to either the writers or their work.
Royal Mail is also marking the 25th anniversary of World Book Day with a special postmark.
David Gold of Royal Mail, said: “The UK has produced many world class authors and illustrators who have written books and created characters that have inspired and entertained children and adults for generations.
“We are proud to be involved in the celebration of World Book Day’s 25th anniversary and to honour the works of some of the UK’s best-loved authors and illustrators on our postboxes.”
Cassie Chadderton, chief executive of World Book Day, said: “We are delighted to be celebrating authors and illustrators from across the UK to mark our 25th anniversary with Royal Mail.
“It’s lovely to see some of our £1 book authors and illustrators featured and we hope the postboxes inspire more families to read together and showcase just a few of the wonderful books available for children to explore.”
