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.
July 3rd through history
Mallard, 126 mph, and a policeman's helmet in colour
On July 3rd 1938 the London and North Eastern Railway’s streamlined A4 Pacific No. 4468 Mallard, driven by Joseph Duddington of Doncaster, ran down Stoke Bank near Essendine hauling seven coaches and touched 126 mph. It remains the fastest a steam locomotive has ever gone. The run was officially described as a brake test; the middle big-end overheated and Mallard had to be taken off at Peterborough.
Ten years earlier, on July 3rd 1928, John Logie Baird gave the first demonstration of colour television at his laboratory in Long Acre. The apparatus was a scanning disc fitted with red, blue and green filters, and the subjects were a bunch of roses, a lit cigarette, coloured scarves, a policeman’s helmet and a man putting his tongue out. Regular colour broadcasting in Britain began thirty-nine years later.
Israeli commandos landed at Entebbe airport in Uganda late on July 3rd 1976 and freed the passengers of a hijacked airliner who had been held there for a week. The aircraft were on the ground for about ninety minutes, having flown some 2,500 miles.
Tomas Straussler left Zlin in Moravia as a small child, reached England by way of Singapore and India, took his stepfather’s surname and became Tom Stoppard, the playwright; he was born on July 3rd 1937. The novelist Franz Kafka was born in Prague in 1883, the actor Tom Cruise in 1962 and the New Zealand fast bowler Richard Hadlee in 1951.
Born on July 3rd: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Tom Cruise and Tom Stoppard — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Cancer — a Water sign ruled by the Moon, symbolised by the Crab.
Birthstone
Ruby for July.
Birth flower
Larkspur (primary), also Water Lily — most commonly cited sources agree on larkspur as the main July 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.
