This Halloween, the Mercury is asking its readers to send in pictures of their pets and pumpkins.

Last year, we asked for pictures of carved out pumpkins only, but this year we’ve decided to incorporate your furry friends into the mix.

Pictures must be Halloween themed and contain either a pumpkin, a pet, or both.

Please send them to mercurynews@thekmgroup.co.uk with your full name, age, road name and town, and a telephone number for copyright reasons, before Tuesday, October 27.
