How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
April 16th through history
Culloden: the last pitched battle on British soil
The Jacobite army was destroyed on Drummossie Moor near Inverness on April 16th 1746. The Highlanders had marched through the night in a failed attempt to surprise the government camp and had eaten almost nothing; they were drawn up on flat, wet ground of the sort that suits artillery. Cumberland’s guns opened at about one in the afternoon and the affair was over in under an hour. Around 1,500 Jacobites were killed against some fifty on the other side. It was the last pitched battle fought on British soil, and the pursuit afterwards earned Cumberland his nickname.
On April 16th 1912 Harriet Quimby flew a Bleriot monoplane from Dover to the French coast near Boulogne in about an hour, the first woman to fly the Channel. She had borrowed the machine from Louis Bleriot, had never flown the type, and had learned the compass that morning. The newspapers were entirely taken up with the loss of the Titanic, and her flight was barely reported.
The Queen launched the Royal Yacht Britannia at John Brown’s yard in Clydebank on April 16th 1953, before a crowd of some 30,000, most of them shipyard families. The name had been kept secret until she spoke it. Britannia went on to cover more than a million nautical miles.
Walworth, in south London, produced the silent-film comedian Charlie Chaplin on April 16th 1889. The comedian and writer Spike Milligan was born in India in 1918.
Born on April 16th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Charlie Chaplin and Spike Milligan — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Aries — a Fire sign ruled by Mars, symbolised by the Ram.
Birthstone
Diamond for April.
Birth flower
Daisy (primary), also Sweet Pea — most commonly cited sources agree on daisy as the main April flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.
