No, this is not the birth moment of a human being. It is what Professor (later Sir) Alec Jeffreys called his 'Eureka' moment, the moment he developed the world’s first DNA fingerprint. He kept it pinned to his office wall. Source: DNA and the Hunt for Britain’s Worst Killers by Ron Mackenna (Black and White Publishing, 2003), p.23: "The date of this event was 15 September 1984. The time was somewhere around 8.:30am." Prince Harry was born the same day; I have been unable to find Jeffreys’ birthdate. (Editor’s note: Wikipedia gives his birthdate as 9th January 1950, at Oxford.)

A few months ago, I gave the full data for King Edward III from a biography of his mother, Isabella of France. At the time I had not finished reading the book but since doing so, I have also come across the full data for his eldest son, Edward the Black Prince. The Prince died on June 8th 1276, a full year before his father.

If, like me, you have nothing better to do in the middle of the day, you may have caught that rather raunchy, bitchy TV programme Loose Women, in which a group of women discuss important topics such as money, sex, manners and morality, sex, marriage, sex... well, you get the idea. Regulars include singer Jane MacDonald, actress Denise Welch and Coleen Nolan, the youngest of the Nolan Sisters. Until recently, the chief presenter was Kaye Adams. At the time of writing she is on maternity leave, having recently given birth to a girl, Bonnie.

KAYE RINTOUL ADAMS: 28 December 1962, Falkirk, Scotland (56N00 3W48); 7:30 pm (19:30) GMT. Caroline Gerard from birth certificate.
