TODAY is Fathers' 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 this link wirralglobe.co.uk/my/ccn/assignment/pdCu2xM8/ to post your message, or email heidi.summerfield@newsquest.co.uk

Here are some of your heartfelt messages to the dads you have loved and lost.

Share a special message for your dadDad, I love you dad. I know you knew I loved you but I probably should have said it. I miss you. You made me who I am and I always knew that I was lucky to have you as my dad. I knew one day I would lose you and I am grateful that you were with me for so long but I wish you were still here enjoying the simple pleasures of being alive with mum, she misses you. We all do. You made life special in a world that can be so cold. You made our lives warm and happy. You made us safe. Love you Dad 💖
