THROUGHOUT the year, we've celebrated many heroes.
Our amazing key workers from the NHS to delivery workers have been working around the clock to keep us going and help fight this pandemic.
For Red Nose Day today, children across St Helens have been invited by their schools to go into class dressed as their hero, and one story just made us smile.
For nine-year-old Jacob Shuker from Haydock, when he was asked what super hero he wanted to go into school as today, he had just one answer, 'my dad'.
The Rectory Primary pupil's dad Christopher Shuker is a postman and has been working really hard during the pandemic.
And there was noone else Jacob thought was a bigger hero than his keyworker dad.
So despite being separated, his mum Sarah moved heaven and earth to put the costume together, in the hope that it will bring a smile to Chris' face.
Jacob's mum Sarah explained: "My baby boy Joshua who is in nursery wanted to go as a Ghost Buster because they are his heroes but when I asked his older brother, Jacob asked me could he go as his dad.
"His dad Christopher Shuker has been a postman since before Jacob was born and Jacob has watched his dad go to work everyday from first thing in the morning for many years at St Helens mail centre to now at Newton.
"He has worked all the way through the pandemic.
"So although we don't live together anymore I was proud of my son for recognising his dad as a hero and not picking to go as Batman or Spiderman.
"Postmen and postwomen have a job that is physically demanding and exhausting and they do it five days a week, and during the pandemic have worked all the way through.
"I haven't once heard postman and woman mentioned during this time as someone who is key to keeping the country going but I'm glad my little man did and hope seeing this today means something to his dad for working so hard."
