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 8th through history
Over the wall at Wandsworth
Ronnie Biggs, serving thirty years for his part in the Great Train Robbery, escaped from Wandsworth prison on July 8th 1965 with little more than a year of the sentence behind him. Other prisoners staged a scuffle in the exercise yard; a furniture van parked outside; a rope ladder came over the thirty-foot wall and Biggs went up it and dropped through the van’s opened roof. He spent thirty-six years abroad, returning voluntarily in 2001.
The poet Percy Bysshe Shelley drowned on July 8th 1822 when his small schooner, the Don Juan, was caught by a summer squall in the Gulf of Spezia. He was twenty-nine and had never learned to swim. His ashes were buried in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome, near the grave of Keats, whom he had elegised the year before.
The final flight of the American space shuttle programme began on July 8th 2011, when Atlantis lifted off on STS-135 to resupply the International Space Station. After thirty years and 135 missions the United States was left with no means of putting an astronaut into orbit, a gap that lasted the better part of a decade.
Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the airship pioneer, was sixty-one — six days short of sixty-two — before he got an airship off the ground; he had been born on July 8th 1838. The actor Kevin Bacon was born in 1958, the actress Anjelica Huston in 1951 and the oil magnate John D. Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil, in 1839.
Born on July 8th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Kevin Bacon and Anjelica Huston — 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.
