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 28th through history
The Armada sails, and an article in The Observer
On May 28th 1588 the Spanish Armada sailed from Lisbon: some 130 ships and 30,000 men, under orders to fight its way up the Channel and escort an invasion army across from Flanders. Bad weather forced it into Corunna to refit before it reached English waters in July. The advantage the English fleet turned out to have was gunnery and handling rather than size, and the weather saw to the remainder.
On May 28th 1961 a London lawyer named Peter Benenson published an article in The Observer called ‘The Forgotten Prisoners’, prompted by a report of two Portuguese students imprisoned for raising a toast to freedom. It launched a campaign intended to last one year, called Appeal for Amnesty 1961. It did not stop after a year. It became Amnesty International, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977.
Neville Chamberlain became Prime Minister on May 28th 1937, having spent more than five years as Chancellor and being widely thought the ablest administrator in the government. On the same day in Berlin the state company that would build the Volkswagen was founded.
Ian Fleming, the author who would go on to create James Bond, was born on May 28th 1908 in Mayfair, worked in naval intelligence during the war, and wrote Casino Royale in Jamaica in about two months at the age of forty-three, by his own account to take his mind off his impending marriage.
Born on May 28th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Ian Fleming and Kylie Minogue — 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.
