Today, 28th June, marks the 94th anniversary of the 'Shot heard Around the World" - The assasination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand Austria-Este, Prince Imperial of Austria and Royal Prince of Hungary and Bohemia, and hid wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg and Princess of Hohenberg, by the Serbian terrorist Gavrilo Princip. This was the act which lit the fuse for the Great War.
