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 5th through history
Six pips from Greenwich, and counting
On February 5th 1924, at half past nine in the evening, the BBC broadcast the Greenwich Time Signal for the first time. It was the joint idea of John Reith and Frank Dyson, the Astronomer Royal, who agreed to wire a clock at the Royal Observatory straight into the broadcast. Dyson filled the first quarter of an hour with a history of the Observatory before the six dots sounded. Newspapers called them ticks and dots for five years before anyone called them pips.
Apollo 14 came down in the Fra Mauro highlands on February 5th 1971, restoring American confidence after the near-loss of Apollo 13. Alan Shepard, the first American in space a decade earlier and by now 47, walked on the Moon and, at the end of the second excursion the following day, hit two golf balls one-handed.
Robert Peel was born on February 5th 1788 in Bury, the son of a cotton manufacturer. He created the Metropolitan Police in 1829, gave his own name twice over to the men who served in it, and split his party in 1846 by repealing the Corn Laws.
Madeira in 1985 produced Cristiano Ronaldo, the footballer, and Britain in 1946 Charlotte Rampling, the film actress whose career now runs to six decades.
Born on February 5th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Robert Peel and Charlotte Rampling — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Aquarius — an Air sign ruled by Saturn (traditional) / Uranus (modern), symbolised by the Water-Bearer.
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.
