TO help celebrate Father’s Day we asked children in our region to send us a drawing to say thank you to the male role models in their lives.

The response has been incredible, so we’ve only been able to publish some of the entries in this special souvenir pull-out.

To see more brilliant pictures of dads, step-dads, grandads, uncles, brothers and other carers, please visit www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/fathersday

We’ve done our best to decipher the handwriting of our enthusiastic contributors but please forgive us if we have misinterpreted any detail.
