Father’s Day was brought about in the US in 1972 when Richard Nixon signed a declaration making the third Sunday in June officially Father’s Day, however similar to Mother’s Day, the first ever Father’s Day goes well beyond this. The first Father’s Day was thought to be held on the 5th of July 1908 after Grace Golden Clayton asked her pastor, Dr R Thomas Webb, if Sunday service could be held to honour fathers. While she was missing her Dad, who passed away in 1896, Mrs. Clayton wanted Sunday Service to honour Father’s after a tragic mining explosion that happened in the previous December, that killed over 360 men and boys resulting in over 1,000 children being left without Father’s.
