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 17th through history
A twenty-one-year-old takes Mid Ulster
Bernadette Devlin won the Mid Ulster by-election on April 17th 1969 at the age of twenty-one, the youngest woman returned to the Commons until 2015, and the youngest MP for half a century. She made her maiden speech five days after the count, on the eve of her twenty-second birthday, and the House heard it in something close to silence.
The Queen proclaimed Canada’s new constitution on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on April 17th 1982, ending the last British legislative authority over Canadian affairs. Rain and hail came down on 32,000 people as she rose to speak. The copy of the proclamation signed out of doors was spotted by the downpour and is known in the Canadian archives as the raindrop copy; a second original had prudently been signed indoors.
The Bay of Pigs landing began on April 17th 1961, when about 1,400 Cuban exiles came ashore with American backing; the operation collapsed within three days. The Ford Mustang was unveiled at the New York World’s Fair on April 17th 1964 and took some 22,000 orders on its first day.
Sean Bean, the actor born in Sheffield on April 17th 1959, has ‘100% Blade’ tattooed on his arm in honour of the city’s football club. The Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev kept this day in 1894 as his birthday, though the register says the 15th; the actress Jennifer Garner was born in 1972, and the singer and fashion designer Victoria Beckham, a former member of the Spice Girls, in 1974.
Born on April 17th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Victoria Beckham and Sean Bean — 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.

A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — diamond for the stone, Aries for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
