Father\u2019s Day is coming up soon in the UK. (Picture: Getty)Father\u2019s Day is an annual celebration in many countries around the world that takes a day to praise dads and be thankful for the important father figures in our lives who inspire and support us.
\nWe\u2019ve been celebrating fathers for centuries and an annual day set aside for the celebration of fatherhood in\u00a0Catholic\u00a0Europe\u00a0can be traced back as far as 1508 \u2013 although it is possible that a day honouring fatherhood specifically could have begun even earlier than that
\nThe date of Father\u2019s Day changes every year because it is always held on the third Sunday of June, so this is when the date falls in 2021.
\nWhen is Father\u2019s Day 2021?
\nFather\u2019s Day in 2021 falls on Sunday, June 20.
\nThis date falls just one day before the UK is set to hit its final date in the government\u2019s roadmap map for easing lockdown and lifting restrictions.
\nHowever, people in the UK should still be able to see and celebrate with their father figures on this date.
\nWith household mixing and overnight stays allowed in England from May 17, this should enable many families and loved ones who have been separated since last year to finally travel and reunite.
\nUnlike Mother\u2019s Day, which is celebrated on a different date, Father\u2019s Day falls on the same day in the US and Canada as it does in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
