International Friendship Day is celebrated on the last Sunday of July to recognise the importance of friendship in our lives. It’s a time to show appreciation for friends near and far, and to promote kindness, connection, and understanding across communities and cultures.

Who is your oldest friend? What special memories have you made together?
