Fathers often are the silent force in families, providing support through actions rather than words. Father’s Day is an annual day to recognise dads and dad figures for everything they do, from guiding children through obstacles to showing up for milestones. Following the tradition of celebrating it on the third Sunday of June, the occasion will be observed on June 21, 2026, in countries like India, US, UK and UAE. Messages, gifts, family get-togethers and gestures of appreciation mark the day, but its history is older than a century and has its roots in the United States.
