The restrictions imposed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic over the last 15 months mean many of us have spent more time away from our loved ones. But today is an opportunity to shine a light on those special people. In honour of Father’s Day, (Sunday, June 20) we asked our readers to share a picture and message on our Facebook page for their dad, or the person who is like a dad to them. Here is what you had to say.
