Fathers Day in the UK
Fathers Day is held on the third Sunday of June in the United Kingdom. It is a day to honor fathers and father figures such as grandfathers and fathers-in-law. This year, Fathers Day will take place on Sunday, June 16th, 2024 and Sunday, June 15th, 2025.
Origins of Fathers Day
The tradition of celebrating Fathers Day originated in the United States. In 1908, a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd proposed the idea of a day to honor fathers after she was inspired by her own widowed father. The first Fathers Day was celebrated in 1910, and it became a permanent national holiday in 1972.
Fathers Day has since spread to many other countries around the world, including the United Kingdom. It is now a popular day for families to spend time together and to show their appreciation for the fathers in their lives.
