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.
August 11th through history
Cornwall goes dark at eleven minutes past eleven
The total solar eclipse of August 11th 1999 crossed Cornwall and south Devon shortly after eleven in the morning, the first totality visible from mainland Britain since 1927. Perhaps a million people travelled west for it; the A30 became a linear car park; and much of the coast spent the two minutes of totality under cloud, watching the darkness arrive rather than the sun disappear. The next one due over the mainland is in 2090.
On August 11th 1968 British Railways ran its last scheduled steam-hauled passenger service, the Fifteen Guinea Special, from Liverpool to Carlisle and back. The fare gave the train its name and was thought outrageous at the time. Steam was then banned from the network altogether, a prohibition that lasted until 1971.
On August 11th 1942 the actress Hedy Lamarr and the composer George Antheil were granted an American patent for a frequency-hopping system intended to stop radio-controlled torpedoes being jammed. The navy ignored it. The principle underlies a good deal of modern wireless communication.
Enid Blyton, the children’s author, wrote something like 700 books, most of them at a typewriter balanced on her knees in a garden chair, and is still one of the most translated authors in the world. She was born in East Dulwich on August 11th 1897, Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, in 1950 and Chris Hemsworth, the actor known for playing Thor, in 1983.
Born on August 11th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Enid Blyton and Chris Hemsworth — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Leo — a Fire sign ruled by the Sun, symbolised by the Lion.
Birthstone
traditionally Sardonyx, or Peridot or Spinel in the modern list for August.
Birth flower
Gladiolus (primary), also Poppy — most commonly cited sources agree on gladiolus as the main August 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 — sardonyx for the stone, Leo for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
