John Logie Baird died in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, after suffering a stroke in February. His death marked the end of the life of a pioneering inventor who made significant contributions to the development of television.

John Logie Baird gave the world's first demonstration of a practical, fully electronic color television display. His 600-line color system used triple interlacing, requiring six scans to build each picture. This event represented a significant advancement in electronic color television technology.

The BBC broadcast 'The Man with the Flower in His Mouth,' the first drama shown on UK television. This marked an important step in the development of television as a medium for dramatic storytelling and entertainment.

John Logie Baird demonstrated the world's first color television transmission. He utilized scanning discs at both the transmitting and receiving ends, featuring three spirals of apertures, each equipped with a filter of a different primary color. At the receiving end, three light sources were used with a commutator to alternate their illumination. This demonstration was groundbreaking for color television technology.

John Logie Baird gave the first public demonstration of true television images to members of the Royal Institution and a reporter from The Times in his laboratory at 22 Frith Street, London. This demonstration showcased a television system capable of scanning and displaying live moving images with tonal graduation, marking a significant milestone in the history of television technology.

John Logie Baird was born in Helensburgh, Dunbartonshire, Scotland. He was the youngest of four children of the Reverend John Baird, the Church of Scotland's minister for the local St Bride's Church, and Jessie Morrison Inglis. This day marks the beginning of the life of the inventor who would later pioneer television technology.
