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 5th through history
Churchill leaves Downing Street for the last time
Winston Churchill resigned as prime minister on April 5th 1955, aged eighty, having given a dinner at Number 10 the previous evening for the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. He declined the dukedom he was offered, on the grounds that it would end his son’s career in the Commons, and remained the member for Woodford for another nine years. He had first entered Parliament in 1900, when Victoria was on the throne.
On April 5th 1930 Gandhi reached the sea at Dandi in Gujarat after walking 240 miles in twenty-four days, and the following morning picked up a lump of natural salt from the shore. The gesture broke the British salt monopoly, which taxed a substance freely available on the coast, and did so in a way no colonial administration could answer without looking absurd.
Kurt Cobain died at his home in Seattle on April 5th 1994, aged twenty-seven. His body was not found until the 8th, by an electrician who had come to install a security system. Nirvana had released three albums.
Thomas Hobbes, the philosopher best known for Leviathan, was born on April 5th 1588 as the Armada approached, and liked to say that fear and he were born twins. Bette Davis, the actress known for All About Eve, was born in 1908, Spencer Tracy, remembered for his roles opposite Katharine Hepburn, in 1900 and Gregory Peck, the actor known for To Kill a Mockingbird, in 1916.
Born on April 5th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Bette Davis and Gregory Peck — 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.
