Many happy returns of the day to David Bowie on his 62nd birthday from everybody here at BowieNet.
Good to see that school teachers in the UK are being reminded of this important date.
My wife is a teacher and above is today's entry from her official school planner/diary that is apparently supplied to teachers throughout the land and runs from June through to the next year's July for obvious reasons.
I guess it would be considered inappropriate to celebrate the birth of an American singer in UK schools, (sorry Elvis) but it's also good to see that education authorities consider David Bowie's birth more important than the likes of Professor Stephen Hawking, to name but one other of the many luminaries born on January 8th.

Hope you have a most enjoyable day, David, filled with love, fun and loads of whatyamacallits.
Stay tuned for the final part of our five-part contest later today which is for a signed item that David Bowie actually owned!
