Would like to wish my daddy a Happy Father's Day, he is the greatest daddy, he loves and protects me and lets me join in with the gardening and DIY. Lots of love Tobias Lewarne x

What is your response?I wasn’t an easy kid to raise. But you never gave up. You always encouraged me to be myself and helped me believe in myself. For that, I am forever grateful. You've been there for me when times have been hard, your mum's rock and your grandchildren's very own grumpy. We love you! Happy Father's Day, Dad.

What is your response?I feel theres no greater man than my dad. He's been through a fair amount of illnesses these past few years but he's always able to put a smile upon our family. With the up and downs of Diabetes and having an amputation of his foot then being diagnosed with Bowel Cancer managing to beat that and coming out on top. He's never been one to give up on any of us he shows strength every day despite all he's going through with the medical conditions at present. He's a shoulder to cry, a big hugger , a fantastic Grandad, Great Grandad, husband & dad. I'm so proud of him every day! Happy Father's Day love from all your family

What is your response?My dad is the best dad any girl could ever wish for. My mum passed away last year suddenly and my dad has been our rock even though he was grieving too. He's been married to my mum for 38 years and they had five amazing children together. Since she passed he's been our mum as well as our dad. He never says no to anyone he will help anyone out, he is a genuine gentleman and I'm proud to call him my dad.

What is your response?This is Nicky 33yrs old from Bolton and he is the best dad to our little girl Harper who is 2.5yrs. He works all day long but from the moment she was born he got up in the middle of the night constantly despite getting up at 7am for work. He changed her a few times in the boot of his car after some nappy explosions. He walks through the door and dances in the living room! Ha. He reads her stories and puts her to bed. He even goes the whole hog and dresses up at Halloween with her to answer the door to trick or treaters. He always goes the extra mile despite working so hard as a charity co-ordinator for kwik fit working along side children with cancer UK. He is THE best dad ever. Harper is one lucky little girl!
