September 6 in World History

An idea from Cholle:

Go to Wikipedia and look up for your birthday, excluding the year. List one death, two births and three key events in your journal, including the year.

Here's mine:

Death:
972 - John XIII, Roman Catholic Pope from October 1, 965 to September 6, 972.

Births:
1974 - Tim Henman, former world's no. 4 tennis player from Oxford, England.
1973 - Greg Rusedski, another former world's no. 4 tennis player from Montreal, Canada.

Events:
Holiday/Observance - National Stillbirth Remembrance Day in 39 US States and in 3 provinces of Canada.
2000 - In New York City, the United Nations Millennium Summit begins with more than 180 world leaders present.
1997 - The funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, at Westminster Abbey draws large crowds.
