Fathers Day

Event description

In the United Kingdom, Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The day does not have a long tradition; The English Year (2006) states that it entered British popular culture “sometime after the Second World War, not without opposition”. Singer songwriter Jon Barker also contributed to the UK’s Father’s Day culture by releasing the now popular song “Thank you for being my dad”. The song reached charts around the world and is widely played at funerals each year around the world.
