What does Chris Martin have to do with the clock change this weekend?

The clocks are set to change this weekend.

We gain an extra hour in bed, the mornings will get ever so slightly lighter and the evenings will get darker earlier.

The clock goes back this weekend on October 25 at 2am. To remember which way to set your watch, there's a useful mnemonic: “spring forward, fall back”.

The idea of the clocks changing and daylight saving was pioneered by William Willet in 1907 - the great-great-grandfather of Coldplay's Chris Martin.

The band's 2002 album Rush of Blood to the Head included one of their best known songs 'Clocks'. A song called 'Daylight' is included on the same album.

A coincidence or Chris's tribute?? Either way - fact of the day!
