1 August 1834. Slavery Abolition Act (1833) became law. It freed slaves but gave compensation to slave owners. It was not applied to all of the British Empire until the 1843 Indian Slavery Act when slavery finally ended in India.

1 August 1944. Anne Frank wrote the final entry in her famous diary, writing, “I get cross, then sad, and ... keep trying to find a way to become what I’d like to be and what I could be … if only there were no other people in the world.”

Today is Lammas, an Anglo-Saxon harvest festival celebrated on 1 August. The name comes from the Old English word 'hlafmæsse', 'loaf-mass', so it's a festival of bread - perhaps a day for blessing loaves of bread made from the first wheat of the harvest.
