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.
February 26th through history
A green blip in a field near Weedon
A van stood in a field near Weedon in Northamptonshire on February 26th 1935, six miles from the BBC’s Empire Service transmitter at Daventry. Robert Watson-Watt and his assistant Arnold Wilkins watched a cathode ray tube while an RAF Heyford bomber flew back and forth overhead. A spot on the screen grew and shrank as it passed. They had detected an aircraft by radio, the Air Ministry found the money within days, and the Chain Home stations were watching the Channel by 1939.
The Privy Council met in emergency session on February 26th 1797 and ordered the Bank of England to stop paying out gold. A French landing at Fishguard days earlier had set off a run on the reserves, and the Bank, needing something to hand over instead, issued its first one-pound notes within the week. The suspension was meant to be temporary and lasted twenty-four years.
Napoleon slipped away from Elba with about a thousand men on February 26th 1815. He was in Paris in just over three weeks, without a shot fired, and at Waterloo within four months.
Victor Hugo passed eighteen years of exile in the Channel Islands rather than submit to Napoleon III, and wrote most of Les Miserables at Hauteville House on Guernsey, finishing it on a visit to the field of Waterloo. He was born on February 26th 1802, and Johnny Cash, the singer-songwriter known as the Man in Black, in Arkansas in 1932.
Born on February 26th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Johnny Cash and Victor Hugo — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Pisces — a Water sign ruled by Jupiter (traditional) / Neptune (modern), symbolised by Two Fish.
Birthstone
Amethyst for February.
Birth flower
Violet (primary), also Primrose — most commonly cited sources agree on violet as the main February 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.
