Well, it depends on how you look at it. My grandfather died on my 17th birthday. I am his eldest grandchild and his only grandaugher. We were quite close. But He had been suffering dreadfully from viciously aggressive lung cancer - it must have been oat cell looking back - and I feel like my birthday had the power to open the door to Heaven for him.

Yes: sad for the German Air Force. The day the Third Reich lost the chance to win WWII. It was Battle of Britain Day, or at least an anniversary of it. |

No Louise, but Bob and I were married the very day before Princess Di was killed. Therefore, friends and family remember our anniversary, but not for the normal reasons. x |

My 16th birthday, 30 January 1965, was the day of Winston Churchill's funeral. Charles 1 died 300 years before I was born on 30 January 1649 - I don't remember that though! Sue xx |
