These days, many of us don't just mark Father's Day by sending a card and buying a small gift; we also pay tribute to our fathers - or people we view as father figures - by celebrating them in an Instagram or Twitter post. Celebrities never like to miss a social media trend, so today, they've obviously been sharing Father's Day posts like the rest of us. And here are some of the most touching ones we've spotted so far.
Earlier this year, Rio Ferdinand brought many of us to tears with his moving documentary about learning to cope after the sudden loss of his wife. Today, he shared a picture of the balloons their children left for him as a Father's Day surprise.
