Wigan residents share their photographs of the snow, from children's delight to wintry scenes

It may only have left a thin layer on the ground, but it still created lovely wintry scenes and brought joy to many people.

Here is a collection of photographs of people in Wigan enjoying the snow.

However, the wintry weather has brought disruption to other parts of the country, with hundreds of schools shut and flights cancelled.

Yellow warnings for snow and ice cover much of the UK, including north-west England.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued amber cold health alerts for England as an early warning that adverse temperatures are likely to affect health and well-being, running until Friday.
