TODAY is Father’s Day - a difficult time for anyone who has lost their dad.
While many people will be spending today thanking all the important male figures in their lives - dads, grandads, uncles and family friends - some people will be missing a loved one.
We know there are many of our readers whose dads have sadly passed away and we wanted to give you the chance to remember them by sharing your own special messages.
If your dad is no longer with us and you'd like to share a photo and a few words telling us why he was so important to you, use the link at the bottom of the page to post your message.
Here are some of your heartfelt messages to the dads you have loved and lost.
