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 24th through history
Vesuvius, on a date now doubted
Vesuvius buried Pompeii and Herculaneum in AD 79, on a date traditionally given as August 24th upon the authority of Pliny the Younger, who watched from across the bay and described it in two letters written a quarter of a century later. The manuscripts of those letters disagree among themselves, and an inscription uncovered at Pompeii in 2018 appears to be dated to mid-October. Autumn fruit and charcoal braziers found in the ruins point the same way.
Pliny the Elder, commanding the fleet at Misenum, took ships across to help and died on the shore at Stabiae. His nephew stayed behind with his books, and that is the only reason any account of it survives.
On August 24th 1814 British troops entered Washington and burned the White House and the Capitol in reprisal for the burning of York in Canada. A storm the following day put the fires out. Dolley Madison had the full-length portrait of Washington cut from its frame and carried off before she left.
On August 24th 1995 Microsoft launched Windows 95, with midnight queues outside shops and the Rolling Stones on the advertisements. It introduced the Start button, which for the next twenty years was where one went to stop.
Born on August 24th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Stephen Fry and Rupert Grint — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Virgo — an Earth sign ruled by Mercury, symbolised by the Maiden. If you were born right on the cusp, sources vary by a day either way on exactly where one sign ends and the next begins.
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, Virgo for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
