Children in Need helps to raise vital funds for children across the UK facing difficult situations and this year £33,513,325 was raised. The cause is well known for its character Pudsey Bear which many people dress up for each year to mark the day.
We asked our readers to send in photos of their Children in Need and spotty outfits and the photos didn't disappoint.
Take a look at our album and see if you can spot someone you know.
