A delegation from Timbuktu took part in a number of activities during their week-long visit to Hay on Wye as part of the official twinning celebrations between Timbuktu and Hay. Take a look at the slideshow of the delegation sent in by Rosanna Westwood, Luke Skinner and Anna Heywood. If you'd like to add your photos of the twinning celebrations, please email us at wales.mid@bbc.co.uk:
Anne Brichto and family enjoy a joke with Idrissa, the youngest member of the delegation. Husband Derek has adopted the Touareg head-dress for the evening, hence the blue nose!
The Timbuktu delegation was overwhelmed by the warmth and the generosity of the welcome - whether in London, Hay, Cardiff or Hereford.
