Today 21 June 2026 is both Summer Solstice (Summer begins) and Father's Day!
On this day we remember fathers around the world. Here we will be amongst others celebrating Philip Astley father to John Conway Astley and 'father of the modern circus' as well as our Andrew Van Buren's father Fred Van Buren.
