Father's Day in UK is celebrated in much the same way as it is
celebrated in US. In UK too, Father's Day festival is celebrated on the
third Sunday of June and therefore the date of the festival is
never fixed. People celebrate the occasion by honoring their father and
expressing affection for them by presenting popular gifts like cards,
flowers, chocolates and neckties. Little children often give handmade
gifts to their dad.
Several clubs, schools and cultural societies in United Kingdom
organize Fathers Day parties and get-togethers and provide people an
opportunity to celebrate the day. Games and fun-filled add joy to such
celebrations.
It may also be noted that Father's Day festival has been commercialized
in England to a great extent. Days before the festival marketers launch
an aggressive advertising campaign to lure people and cash in on the
sentimental value of the occasion. Though critics are very much against
rude commercialization many people feel that marketing of the festival
helps to create awareness about the day and therefore strengthen the
bond of love shared between father and a child.
