On August 6, 1991, Berners-Lee posted a short summary of the World Wide Web project on the alt.hypertext newsgroup. This date also marked the debut of the Web as a publicly available service on the Internet.
"The WorldWideWeb (WWW) project aims to allow all links to be made to any information anywhere. [...] The WWW project was started to allow high energy physicists to share data, news, and documentation. We are very interested in spreading the web to other areas, and having gateway servers for other data. Collaborators welcome!" —from Tim Berners-Lee's first message

You have the correct event but the wrong photo. I have searched and searched but can't find it. It was in my mind one of the most famous photos of all time - when Boris Yeltsin stood on the tank and waved his fist in defiance.

Tim Berners-Lee invents the world wide Web in 1991, then heads off to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he directs the W3 Consortium, the standard-setting body that helps everyone agree on openly published protocols. He battles to keep the worldwide web open, nonproprietary, and free. On August 6, 1991, Berners-Lee posted a short summary of the World Wide Web project on the alt.hypertext newsgroup. This date also marked the debut of the Web as a publicly available service on the Internet.
