IT'S the end of the school year, and young people across Gwent getting ready to move on to the next stage of their lives have been celebrating.

After a tough few years during the coronavirus pandemic, they all deserved to get dressed up and let their hair down - and that's just what they did at their end of year proms.

We asked you to send in pictures from your proms, and you delivered in spades, with dozens of photos of proud youngsters looking absolutely fabulous in their outfits.

And that's not to mention some of the amazing ways people arrived at their proms - with youngsters arriving in shiny sports cars, on dirt bikes, and even on horseback. 

Without further ado, here's all the pictures you sent in:
