Dear Mark and Calendar People
It will be the first time since 1959, that the British will celebrate
the whole of Easter before turning the clocks forward. See

The earliest possible date for Easter is March 22nd (since it's defined
to be at least one day after the ecclesiastical equinox, which is
defined to be the 21st). The last time it fell on that date was in
1818, and it won't happen again until 2285.
A table of the most recent occurrence and the next repeat of Easter
dates in March:
22: 1818, 2285
23: 1913, 2160
24: 1940, 2391
25: 1951, 2035
26: 1989, 2062
27: 2005, 2016
28: 1948, 2027
29: 1970, 2043.
30: 1997, 2059
31: 2002, 2013
