OUR doting dads mean everything to us. And this is the perfect time of year to celebrate them.
We launched a special contest to find Hampshire's best dad ahead of Father's Day tomorrow, asking our readers to submit a picture of the man they most look up to.
A lot of the entries have gone above and beyond to help their children through the pandemic or overcome their own difficulties.
Some entries are from partners grateful for a homeschooling hero or constant source of support with a lockdown baby.
The entries for the contest are now in and we're looking for votes from our readers to decide which devoted daddy should be crowned this year's winner.
Scroll through our gallery of 36 contenders for the coveted prize, beloved dads, grandads, step dads and adopted dads.
The winner will scoop £50 of vouchers as well as making a starring appearance in the Daily Echo and online.
Fill in the voting slip in today's paper to cast your vote.
