Pappa, father, baba, vater, padre… Dear dad has many names. Dads are all different, but one thing they have in common is their own day – Father’s Day. This is a day when we shower dads with appreciation and, if they’re lucky and our bank accounts allow, a gift.
Father’s Day was on 16 June this year in the UK. However, the celebration happens all over the world and falls on different dates depending on each country’s tradition.
