TODAY is Father's Day – the day we thank all the important male figures in our lives for everything they’ve done and continue to do for us.

Whether it’s dads, uncles, brothers of family friends, today is the day to let them know how grateful you are to have them in your life.

Over the past few days, we’ve been asking readers to share their Father's Day messages and photos, telling us what makes their dad so special and whey he’s head and shoulders above the rest.

Here are some of those messages dedicated to the dads and other father figures in Mid Cheshire on Father's Day.

What makes your dad so special?Our daddy is simply the best. There is never a time he is too tired to read us our favourite story or cuddle our worries away. After a hard day's work he comes home with open arms and smiles to match ours. He’s so much fun (especially at bedtime when we’re supposed to be sleeping but inside daddy shows us how to jump on the bed)! We love you daddy! Xx

What makes your dad so special?Always goes above and beyond for his children and grandchildren alike. From emotional support to free taxis! Dad (my children's daddy) always managed to put a smile on my babies faces and gives the best emotional support and cuddles to our SEN 4.5 year old mid meltdown, as well as giving the “best cuddles ever” to his other grandchildren - quoted by his eldest granddaughter. One in a million!!
