When it comes to siblings, for some of us, it's a close bond - and for others, it's a bit more complicated. Either way, it's one of those relationships that tends to stick with you. National Siblings Day is generally more of an American 'thing', yet it's typically celebrated on 10th April each year. To mark it, we asked some Leeds locals to reflect on their sibling bonds.

00:00I'm the oldest of four so there's me and three siblings below me and I've been growing up when
00:05we're so close in age it was quite testing I mean it's not for the weak world really and
00:10you're always fighting but it also teaches you things like I don't know negotiation and kind of
00:15compromise and things like that that really help you in life so I cherish my siblings honestly as
00:20we've grown up more and our lives are taught us individually kind of separate things we've really
00:25grown to appreciate each other more and we've always got each other's backs when we need it
