Things get hairy on Father’s Day

-

FUN-LOVING fathers donned fake moustaches to celebrate a Father’s Day breakfast at Greenbank Preparator­y School.

Every year the independen­t preparator­y school in Cheadle Hume throws an early morning party for dads, with sausage and bacon butties, tea, coffee and a series of weird and whacky races.

Charlotte Holmes, aged 10, said of her dad Tim: “He’s simply wonderful and I love his bear hugs.”

About his dad Johnny, Monty Johnson, aged six, said: “The best thing is when he plays football with us.”

His brother Atticus added: “He’s always very good to me even when I’m naughty.”

Ted Black, whose dad is called Alistair, said: “I just can’t think of anything bad to say about my dad, even when I try.”

The fathers shared the mood, with Johnny adding: “Having three, in twins Amity and Atticus and young Monty, keeps you young, even if it can be a little tiring at times.”

Alistair added: “It’s great fun doing all the dad and boy things like going to Manchester City, but I just wish he’d let me have a little more sleep in the morning.”

Tim said: “Being a dad is simply the best thing that has ever happened to me.”

Greenbank Preparator­y School headteache­r Janet Lowe said: “The children love to make a fuss on Father’s Day and we think we should all say a big thank you too.”
