AH SUNSHINE, it's lovely to have you back, and doesn't the city look great with a touch of sun on its skin?
To celebrate the advent of spring we thought it time to take a look at Manchester at its most beguiling; from its crisp, sleek architecture to its back-alley curiosities, from its fine art to its street graffiti, its commuters to its crocuses and crackpots.
So we've been trawling our way through Instagram, looking at the best shots you lot have taken of Manchester... and we've got to hand it to you, you know your way around a smartphone and a filter.
If you fancy yourself as an Instagram snapper, hit the streets, get shooting, and show us what you've got by tagging us in your photos (@mcrconfidential).
You never know, you might make next week's round-up...
