What’s so special about your dad?
The Highway Mail went to the streets and spoke to children about Father's Day and what they love about their dads.
FATHER’S Day is celebrated worldwide to recognise the contribution that fathers and father figures make to the lives of their children. This year, Father’s Day will be celebrated on Sunday, 17 June. Most children see their dads as their heroes as they protect and guide them. The Highway Mail spoke to some children who shared what was special about their dads.
