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.
November 20th through history
A wedding in the Abbey, a fire at Windsor
Princess Elizabeth married Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten at Westminster Abbey on November 20th 1947, in a country still on rations. Clothing coupons were required for the Norman Hartnell dress and the government granted extra ones; members of the public posted her their own, and they had to be sent back as it was against the rules to transfer them. The service was carried by radio to a worldwide audience estimated in the hundreds of millions.
Fire broke out in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle on November 20th 1992, the couple’s forty-fifth wedding anniversary, and burned for fifteen hours through more than a hundred rooms. The subsequent argument over who should pay for the repairs led to Buckingham Palace being opened to paying visitors and to the Queen agreeing to pay income tax.
The trial of the major war criminals opened at Nuremberg on November 20th 1945 before an international tribunal presided over by a British judge, Sir Geoffrey Lawrence. It sat for almost a year and established that following orders was not a defence.
Zarya, the first module of the International Space Station, was launched on November 20th 1998. The station has been continuously occupied since November 2000.
Born on November 20th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Alistair Cooke and Robert F. Kennedy — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Scorpio — a Water sign ruled by Mars (traditional) / Pluto (modern), symbolised by the Scorpion.
Birthstone
traditionally Topaz, or Topaz or Citrine in the modern list for November.
Birth flower
Chrysanthemum (primary), also Peony — most commonly cited sources agree on chrysanthemum as the main November 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.

A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — topaz for the stone, Scorpio for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
