On this Wednesday morning, billions of people said farewell to Princess Diana Spencer of Wales, who died one week before her funeral, President William McKinley was shot, the first Battle of the Marne, and spanned the globe. GMH also takes a look back at Cal Ripken Jr.’s record, and some pop culture anniversaries including the 10th anniversary of the release of the third movie in “The Chronicles of Riddick” franchise. All that and more on today’s “Good Morning History”.
