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.
May 24th through history
A princess at Kensington Palace, and the Hood
Alexandrina Victoria was born at Kensington Palace on May 24th 1819, fifth in line to the throne and not expected to reach it. She was Queen at eighteen and reigned for sixty-three years. From 1902 her birthday was kept across the Empire as Empire Day, a school half-holiday with flags and speeches, and Canada still marks Victoria Day in May.
On May 24th 1941 the battlecruiser HMS Hood, for twenty years the pride of the Royal Navy and the largest warship afloat, was sunk by the Bismarck in the Denmark Strait. She blew up and went down within minutes. Of the 1,418 men aboard, three survived. The pursuit of the Bismarck that followed occupied much of the Atlantic fleet for three days.
On May 24th 1844 Samuel Morse sent the first message down the telegraph line from Washington to Baltimore: ‘What hath God wrought’, a phrase chosen for him by a friend’s daughter. On May 24th 1883 the Brooklyn Bridge opened; a rumour a week later that it was collapsing caused a fatal crush, and Barnum was afterwards allowed to walk twenty-one elephants across it to settle the matter.
The first Eurovision Song Contest was held at Lugano on May 24th 1956, with seven countries competing and Britain not among them. Bob Dylan, the singer-songwriter whose lyrics later earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature, was born in 1941 at Duluth, Minnesota, and Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, the physicist who devised the temperature scale that bears his name, at Danzig in 1686.
Born on May 24th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Queen Victoria and Bob Dylan — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Gemini — an Air sign ruled by Mercury, symbolised by the Twins.
Birthstone
Emerald for May.
Birth flower
Lily of the Valley (primary), also Hawthorn — most commonly cited sources agree on lily of the valley as the main May 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.
