FATHER'S Day is sadly a little bit different this year.

With lockdown restrictions still in place, our celebrations will probably be a bit more muted than they would normally be.

But at The Gazette we still wanted to do our bit to celebrate the amazing dads and granddads in north Essex.

Especially as at times like these we realise how important our family is.

So thank you to all the amazing dads out there.

Here are a few of your messages and photos.
