We asked for your messages to your dad for Father's Day, and we got some amazing stories.

From dads who would go without to the dads who have passed away leaving only the best memories, Wiltshire has some inspirational fathers.

Louisa Reeves from Calne says: "I wish I could get to hug you then I would hold you so tight and never let go. Happy Fathers Day to my hero."

Your message to him/what makes him greatDad died when I was 5 years old but, 45 years on, I still have so many happy memories. Making a dolls house, walking the dog, drawing, Tom and Jerry, picking up my rabbit, sitting on his lap. These memories and more will stay with me forever. He was just the best Dad a girl could have had.
