Sarah, Duchess of York is one of the best royal mothers around and it's clear from her interviews and public outings that she is incredibly close to her daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. The York ladies are also never shy about declaring their love for each other on social media, with Sarah often saying how proud she is of her daughters.

Sarah was married to Prince Andrew from 1986 to 1996 and despite their divorce, the family remain a close-knit unit. The Duchess has previously said: "A table goes best with four legs. A table can't stand on three legs, really, so you have the Duke and I, and the two girls. We're a family unit and we lead by example... I think the one thing I've done incredibly well – although I say it myself – is that I'm a really good mum. And I think that my girls show that.

In honour of their special relationship, here's a look at the best photos of Sarah and her daughters…
