Today has been named Woolly Hat Day 2017, so to celebrate the occasion we want to see photos of you in your favourite cosy headgear.

Now in its seventh year, the day is in aid of homelessness charity St Mungo's.

This year St Mungo's is aiming to raise £60,000.

South London comedian Jo Brand is supporting the event and said: “We need to put our heads together to help end homelessness. Woolly Hat Day is a great campaign and it is really simple to take part, I encourage everyone to put on a hat and get involved.

“It is an opportunity to support a fantastic cause and have fun whilst doing so.”

To take part and help the charity reach its target you can make an online donation at www.woollyhatday.org
