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 3rd through history
The lamps are going out all over Europe
On August 3rd 1914 Sir Edward Grey told a crowded House of Commons that Britain could not stand aside while Belgium was overrun, and effectively committed the country to war. That evening, watching the lamps being lit in St James’s Park from a window of the Foreign Office, he said to a friend: ‘The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.’ Germany declared war on France the same day.
On August 3rd 1492 Christopher Columbus sailed from Palos with three ships and about ninety men, having persuaded the Spanish crown to fund a route to Asia that did not exist. He made landfall in the Bahamas ten weeks later and died still insisting he had reached the Indies.
The Beatles played the Cavern Club in Liverpool for the last time on August 3rd 1963, after some three hundred appearances in a cellar that held a few hundred people and had no proper ventilation. From Me to You had been at number one for seven weeks from the start of May, and the room could no longer come close to holding the demand.
The novelist P. D. James, best known for her Adam Dalgliesh detective mysteries, was born on August 3rd 1920; Tony Bennett, the singer known for popular standards, in 1926; Terry Wogan, the broadcaster who became a fixture of British radio and television, in 1938; and Martin Sheen, the actor, in 1940.
Born on August 3rd: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
P. D. James and Terry Wogan — 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.
