Curious Questions: Did a mining disaster lead to the invention of Father's Day? Martin Fone June 18, 2022.

It took the irresistible Americanisation of British culture after the Second World War and the welcome prospect of a mid-year fillip to the retail sector’s revenues to cement Father’s Day in the British calendar. ‘Ba’ is the Chinese word for eight and ‘ba-ba’ the colloquial term for father, making the Taiwanese choice of the eighth day of the eighth month — August 8th— as Father’s Day highly appropriate. Following America’s lead, the third Sunday of June was adopted as Father’s Day and its observance has gone from strength to strength. Whereas Mother’s Day was embraced with enthusiasm, the prevailing view was that men were not as sentimental as women and would be less receptive to gifts and overt expressions of gratitude and affection. Sonora was full of admiration for the way her father had risen to the daunting challenge and his devotion to his young family. In Catholic tradition there had been since the Middle Ages the Feast Day of St Joseph, the husband of the Virgin Mary, which is celebrated on March 19th. Despite Presidents Woodrow Wilson, in 1916, and Calvin Coolidge, in 1924, coming out strongly in favour of Father’s Day, Congress blocked any attempt to make it a national holiday. The public outcry following the sector’s annus horribilis led to the adoption of more stringent safety and working practices with the establishment of the United States Bureau of Mines in 1910. When Sonora was sixteen, her mother, Ellen, died after giving birth to her sixth child, leaving her father William — a farmer and Civil War veteran — to raise the young family single-handed. Parishioners gave out flowers, red roses to honour a living father and white in memory of a deceased father. She lobbied her local pastor, the Reverend Robert Thomas Webb, to hold a special service at the Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South to celebrate fatherhood and what fathers do for their children. The small town of Monongah in West Virginia has the unenviable distinction of being the site of America’s worst mining disaster.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis look delighted to be posing for the holiday snap which has been shared by Kensington Palace this evening.

Prince William shares charming family photo for Father's Day (Telegraph.co.uk)

The new photo was taken in Autumn 2021 during a family trip arranged by the Duchess to visit her former childhood home, Jordan.

A similar image from the holiday, but including the Duchess, was used as the family’s Christmas card last year. The country is considered an essential ally to Britain in the Middle East, aiding stability in the region and taking in a large number of refugees from its surrounding countries and the Cambridge’s visit was seen as a recognition of that relationship. In this engaging photograph released by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to mark the occasion the Duke is seen with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis while on holiday in Jordan.

"It meant I could go to Brighton College which when I was growing up was leading the way," Georgia says. "When I filtered out of the England Academy it was his coaching that was useful for me. "I remember asking dad to play with me in the nets and he would just palm me off and I'd think at the time: why wouldn't he coach me? We have been very spoilt and he's a bit of a joker. We came down to Sussex as a big experiment at seeing the big world and we have never left since." All my friends were the other players' children, and it was really informal.
