    After a summer of travelling to Rome, New York, and Washington, in a weak state of health, Mother Teresa returned to Calcutta in July 1997. At 9:30 PM, on 5 September, Mother Teresa died at the Motherhouse. Her body was transferred to St Thomas’s Church, next to the Loreto convent where she had first arrived nearly 69 years earlier. Hundreds of thousands of people from all classes and all religions, from India and abroad, paid their respects. She received a state funeral on 13 September, her body being taken in procession – on a gun carriage that had also borne the bodies of Mohandas K. Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru – through the streets of Calcutta. Presidents, prime ministers, queens, and special envoys were present on behalf of countries from all over the world.

    The Northern Ireland peace talks have ended with an historic agreement called the Good Friday Agreement.

    Well, there are different types of baseball bats, so I am going with one of the most popular…the Louisville Slugger. 1884, and by John Hillerich, a seventeen year old woodworker. If that’s not it…..someone else please!

    😕 I`ve got a few different answers for this question – soooo I`ll try this one :dunno: Gorgeous George (George Blair) is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in X-Factor 😕

    Sorry guys.I should have been more specific and said modern baseball bat.
    Babe Ruth is credited with the invention of the modern baseball bat. He
    was the first player to order a bat with a knob on the end of the handle.
    {Louisville Slugger} He produced the bat with which he hit 29 home runs in
    1919.
    Your answer is correct 🙂

    Last question by Georgie: Who was “Gorgeous George”?
    The non fictional Gorgeous George {George Wagner}was a wrestler with an undistinguished career until he recreated his professional image in the early 1940s

    About 8,000 people died, mainly at sea. The English writer Daniel Defoe described in his diary the worst storm to hit southern England.
    What year?
