On this day a hundred years ago, funeral services were held in Vienna for Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his consort Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg. Prince Alfred of Montenuovo, the Emperor Franz Josephs Chamberlain, had prevented all foreign heads of state from attending, and Franz and Sophies three children. The Serbian Minister at Vienna ordered the Serbian flag at his residence to be at half-mast as a sign of official mourning, and there was an anti-Serb demo protesting this outside his residence through the day. edinburgheye.wordpress/2014/07/03/wwi-the-day-before-the-funeral/
