  • Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles Wedding Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles were married in a civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall, followed by a blessing at St. George's Chapel.

  • Anti-Japanese Protests in China Significant anti-Japanese demonstrations erupted in China, with rioters storming the Japanese Embassy in Beijing.

  • South African New National Party Dissolves The South African New National Party, the successor to the apartheid-era National Party, voted to dissolve itself following poor election results. The party's elected members were expected to join the governing African National Congress, symbolizing a continued political transformation in post-apartheid South Africa.
