Friday 7th of September · Happy Birthday Big Ben!

Elizabeth Tower · UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987

You know that...

· February 1900: The heavy build-up of snow on a clock face impeded the progress of the hour hand, causing the clock to stop for about eight hours

· 1916: For two years during World War I, the bells were silenced and the clock faces were not illuminated at night to avoid guiding attacking German Zeppelins.

· 10 May 1941: A German bombing raid damaged two of the clock's dials.

· 12 August 1949: The clock slowed by four and a half minutes after a flock of starlings perched on the minute hand.

· 30 January 1965: The bells were silenced during the funeral of statesman and former prime minister Winston Churchill.

^{· 5 August 1976: First and only major breakdown. The Great Clock was shut down for a total of 26 days over nine months. it was reactivated on 9 May 1977.} 

· 17 April 2013: The bells were silenced as a mark of "profound dignity and deep respect" during the funeral of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

· August 2015: The clock was discovered to be running 7 seconds fast, and coins were removed from its pendulum to correct the error, which caused it to run slow for a time.

Golf Las Américas would like to join  the celebration of the Swiss National Day. Congratulations Swiss golf players!

"Many Swiss citizens visit us every year, that's why a day like today is also special for us. The Swiss golf players are very respectful towards the golf etiquette and our golf course. It's always a pleasure to have players from this country", said Golf Las Américas CEO Joan Piferrer. 

Since 1891, the 1st of August has been celebrated as Swiss National Day, or Schweizer Bundesfeier (German), Fête Nationale Suisse (French), Festa Nazionale Svizzera (Italian) or Fiasta naziunala Svizra (Romansh). The date refers to an alliance formed in 1291 by the three cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden, the centre around which Switzerland was built. It is also the one day Switzerland's residents come together to celebrate in towns and cities all over the country.
