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.
September 26th through history
Drake comes home three years late
The Golden Hind came into Plymouth Sound on September 26th 1580, having gone round the world. Drake’s first question, according to the story, was whether the Queen was still alive, since he had been raiding Spanish shipping on his own initiative for three years and the answer mattered a great deal to him. About sixty of the men who had set out came back. The treasure in the hold was reckoned to exceed the Crown’s ordinary revenue for a year; Elizabeth took roughly half of it, declined to apologise to Spain, and knighted him at Deptford the following spring.
Abbey Road was released on September 26th 1969, the last album the Beatles recorded together. The cover photograph had taken about ten minutes on a Friday morning in August while a policeman held up the traffic. The crossing is now a listed structure and the traffic has never fully recovered.
On September 26th 1983 a Soviet duty officer named Stanislav Petrov decided that his early-warning system’s report of incoming American missiles was a fault rather than a war, and did not pass it up the chain. It was sunlight glinting off high cloud. Nobody outside the Soviet military knew until 1998.
T. S. Eliot, the poet behind The Waste Land, was born on September 26th 1888, Bryan Ferry, frontman of Roxy Music, in 1945, Olivia Newton-John, the singer and actress who starred in Grease, in Cambridge in 1948 and the tennis champion Serena Williams in 1981.
Born on September 26th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
T. S. Eliot and Bryan Ferry — 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
Sapphire for September.
Birth flower
Aster (primary), also Morning Glory — most commonly cited sources agree on aster as the main September 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.
