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 16th through history
Peterloo, and sixty thousand in Sunday clothes
On August 16th 1819 a crowd of about 60,000 people, many in their Sunday clothes and accompanied by bands, gathered at St Peter’s Field in Manchester to hear Henry Hunt speak on parliamentary reform. The magistrates ordered his arrest and sent in the yeomanry cavalry. Eighteen people were killed and several hundred injured. The name Peterloo was coined within days by a local radical newspaper, on the model of Waterloo four years earlier.
The government’s response was the Six Acts, which restricted public meetings and taxed the radical press. A more durable consequence was the Manchester Guardian, founded in 1821 by John Edward Taylor, who had been at St Peter’s Field and did not care for the official account of it.
On August 16th 1962 Pete Best was dismissed as the Beatles’ drummer at Brian Epstein’s office in Liverpool and replaced by Ringo Starr. Fans picketed the Cavern with placards reading ‘Pete Forever, Ringo Never’.
Elvis Presley died at Graceland on August 16th 1977, aged 42. The date belongs otherwise to Madonna, the pop superstar born in 1958, and James Cameron, the film director behind Titanic, born in 1954.
Born on August 16th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Madonna and James Cameron — 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.
