A SAILOR from Runcorn is aiming to send his Dad a belated Father's Day message from halfway around the world!

Stuart 'Guiseppe' Chriscoli, 20, is serving as a communications expert onboard HMS Gloucester in the Indian Ocean.

But finding time between anti-drug trafficking and counter-terrorism operations, Stuart, from Halton Lodge, wanted to wish dad Paul: 'Happy Father's Day' through the World.

Stuart set sail aboard the 250-man crew destroyers from Portsmouth on April 3 and is due back next month.

The former Heath Comprehensive School pupil says his career highlight has been travelling the world but added: "Looking forward to seeing you all back home in July!"
