London (CNN) Today is a very special occasion -- the date is a palindrome, meaning it is the same when read forwards and backwards. It is February 2, 2020, or 02/02/2020, in both the MM/DD/YYYY format and the DD/MM/YYYY format. The previous palindrome date in all formats came 909 years ago on 11/11/1111. Solihull School Maths Department wrote on Twitter : "Today is a Palindrome Day in all date formats (UK, USA, ISO).
