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.
March 31st through history
A tower finished, and a tax abandoned
The Eiffel Tower was completed on March 31st 1889, when Gustave Eiffel climbed 1,710 steps to the top — the lifts were not yet working — and raised the tricolour over what was then the tallest structure in the world. Three hundred artists and writers had petitioned against it. The permit ran for twenty years, after which it was to be taken down; it survived because the army found it made an excellent radio aerial.
On March 31st 1990 a demonstration in Trafalgar Square against the community charge turned into the worst disorder central London had seen in a century. The tax, universally known as the poll tax, was abandoned within a year, and the prime minister who introduced it had left office by November.
Isaac Newton died on March 20th 1727 by the Julian calendar England still used, which is March 31st by the Gregorian one used everywhere else. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, the first man of science to be given such a funeral. Voltaire, then living in England, noted that the country had buried a mathematician as though he had been a king.
The family celebrity of Ewan McGregor’s Perthshire childhood was his uncle Denis Lawson, who had flown an X-wing in Star Wars, and it took his nephew — later known in his own right for Trainspotting and the Star Wars prequels — some years to catch up. McGregor was born on March 31st 1971, Joseph Haydn, the composer sometimes called the father of the symphony, in 1732 and Rene Descartes, the philosopher behind “I think, therefore I am”, in 1596.
Born on March 31st: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Ewan McGregor and Christopher Walken — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Aries — a Fire sign ruled by Mars, symbolised by the Ram.
Birthstone
traditionally Bloodstone, or Aquamarine in the modern list for March.
Birth flower
Daffodil (primary), also Jonquil — most commonly cited sources agree on daffodil as the main March 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.
