To celebrate National Sister Day (August 6) we asked our readers to share photos of their sisters and to tell us a little bit about their sibling bonds.
We had hundreds of responses and have put together the very best photos and the most heartfelt messages – people told us their sisters were the very most important people in their lives.
Their best friends and siblings combined into one.
