My Dad Father's Day drawings to appear in KM newspapers from Wednesday, June 16

Drawings of Kent dads, lovingly sketched by their children, will be published in a series of special supplements ahead of Father's Day.

Children across both Kent and Medway have spent the last couple of weeks doodling and sketching drawings of their dads especially for us to print in keepsake pull-outs.

In previous years these wonderful drawings have been done by youngsters with the help of teachers and schools, but as classrooms finding their feet after months of closures because of the pandemic, it has been down to other family members, friends and older siblings to help little budding artists complete their artwork and get it to us.

We've now got a wonderful collection of drawings - and messages - we're now getting ready to print ahead of Father's Day celebrations in Kent, which takes place this year on Sunday, June 20.
