Gary Everett: "I lost my Mother to cancer 24 years ago so I would like to wish all mothers everywhere a happy mothers day xxx!"

Irene Wilk: "There are too many good times to remember, but one comes to mind. My husband was describing some music to my mum, and starting making trumpet noises with his mouth, I joined in and we were performing a 'trumpet duet' ...my mum was laughing so hard, begging us to stop, and wet her pants a lil bit! My mum died 19 years ago and I still miss her and have a little weep on Mother's Day morning. Happy Mother's Day to all the awesome mums out there."

Elsa Gaby Sosa: "My mother is beside me now. She has come over from the other side of the world to look after me while I recover from a small operation. I can't do much today but it is the best Mother's Day having her here with me"

Lance Talbot: "Every day Mum was with us is my fondest memory!"

Nelofar Nawabi: "I admire my mum for the unconditional love she gives me no matter what
