A host of well-known Irish faces have marked Father’s Day by sharing social media tributes to the dads in their lives.
Vogue Williams took to Instagram on Sunday morning to share a series of snaps of her husband Spencer Matthews alongside their three children – Theodore, Gigi and Otto.
The Irish presenter captioned the post: “Happy Father’s Day my ❤️ @spencermatthews. Our babies are lucky to have such an amazing Dada like you 🥰”
Former Love Island host Laura Whitmore also marked the occasion by sharing a cute selfie of her and her husband Iain Stirling with their daughter – who they welcomed in March 2021.
She also shared a photo of Scottish comedian Iain enjoying a pint of Guinness with her father.
The presenter captioned the post: “Happy Father’s Day to the best daddy @iaindoesjokes … I have high expectations having the best dad myself.”
“Though they probably shouldn’t be allowed go for ‘one’ Guinness TOGETHER, then not one responsible adult between them, though having a lovely time (swipe for evidence)! 😂”
Rosanna Davison shared a sweet message to her husband Wes Quirke, who she shares three children with, as well as her famous father Chris de Burgh.
The model mum wrote: “Happy Father’s Day to the best dad in the 🌍! We all adore you and we’re so grateful to have you ❤️ Thank you for all you do for our family @wesquirke 🥰”
“And to @cdebinsta AKA Bambam…. We love you so much! #happyfathersday. Big love to all the dads, grandads, those hoping to be dads, the father figures and those missing their dads today 🫶🏼” she added.
Grace Mongey penned an emotional tribute to her late father on Instagram, as she recalled their last Father’s Day together.
The influencer wrote: “This morning I sat and had a coffee with my dad. For the last 15 years I’ve been having little moments with him where I feel so connected to his soul, it could be a walk on the beach alone, a couple of deep breathes near a harbour inhaling in the salty water ( he loved to fish) , smiling at a feather on the ground, playing his favourite music 🎶 ( Nessun Dorma of course) or just just crying.”
“All these moments of connection give me such peace and I know he’s watching over me 🕊️ I’d give anything to relive that last Father’s Day together. He was very unwell and cold so I got a blanket down & a hot water bottle, we cuddled on the couch and watched King Kong, deep down I knew it was our last but was very much in denial.”
“That hot water bottle went into the coffin to always keep him warm. Here’s to all the dads & to those missing their dads. 🤍💫 ”
“* pic 1 his fishing hat, a poem I wrote to my dad for our wedding ceremony, a candle we burned and I will always burn when I wanna reconnect, and a coffee because the smell of coffee always takes me back to my dad ☕️ ”
“* Pic 2 my two anchors that have kept to safe, loved and secure! The one who brought me into this world and the one who was send by my dad 🥰🤍,” she added, referring to her husband Chris Gernon.
The Saturdays star Una Healy celebrated her dad Johnny on Father’s Day, writing on Instagram: “Happy Father’s Day to Johnny Healy! You are the best Father I could ever wish for, and best Grandfather to my kids. Thank you for always being here for us ❤️”
