YESTERDAY, WE ASKED you what the most ‘mam’ thing your mam has ever done is, and boy oh boy did you have mam stories to get off your chests.

From fretting about the weather to hand holding, your comments read like a collection of tiny love letters to those marvellous women.

Here are some of our favourites…
