Today is Thanksgiving Day on Norfolk Island. During the 1890s that American resident of Norfolk Island, Isaac Robinson, introduced Thanksgiving Day to the locals. He was on the island for trade purposes and became the US consul. He led the locals in decorating the All Saints Church building with fruits and vegetation and in adopting the Thanksgiving feast tradition.
People still gather at that same church, in Kingston, today to pile fresh produce in the aisles, sing and worship, and express their thankfulness to God. They have potluck feasts at church or a meal at home too, including pumpkin pie for dessert.
Today is the birthday, in 1955, of William Broad (Billy Idol).
Today is ‘Black Ribbon Day’, also known as the Europe-wide Day of Remembrance for the victims of all totalitarian and authoritarian regimes.
