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.
October 11th through history
The Mary Rose comes up out of the Solent
On October 11th 1982 the hull of the Mary Rose was lifted from the bed of the Solent, where it had lain since the ship went down in front of Henry VIII in July 1545. The BBC covered the lift live from breakfast time, months before Britain had breakfast television, and something in the order of sixty million people watched around the world. A corner of the lifting frame slipped as the hull came clear, and the commentary went briefly silent.
The Second Boer War began on October 11th 1899, after an ultimatum from the Transvaal expired. Britain expected a short campaign against farmers and got the better part of three years, a quarter of a million men in the field, and methods that its own commission of inquiry later condemned.
Apollo 7 lifted off on October 11th 1968, the first crewed Apollo flight and the first to send live television pictures from an American spacecraft. Wally Schirra developed a heavy cold that spread through the capsule, and the crew were markedly short with mission control. None of them flew again.
Ashington in Northumberland was a mining town already well supplied with professional footballers when Bobby Charlton, who would become one of England’s greatest footballers, was born there on October 11th 1937; he and his brother Jack both played in the 1966 final. Dawn French, an RAF officer’s daughter who grew up to be one of Britain’s best-loved comic actresses, followed at Holyhead in 1957.
Born on October 11th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Sir Bobby Charlton and Dawn French — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Libra — an Air sign ruled by Venus, symbolised by the Scales.
Birthstone
traditionally Opal, or Opal or Tourmaline in the modern list for October.
Birth flower
Marigold (primary), also Cosmos — most commonly cited sources agree on marigold as the main October 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.
Gift ideas for a October 11th birthday
A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — opal for the stone, Libra for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
