Coronation Anniversary 41 Gun Royal Salute by The King's Troop RHA - June 2010

The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery fired a Ceremonial 41 Gun Royal Salute in Hyde Park, London on the occasion of Her Majesty The Queen's Coronation Anniversary on 2nd June 2010.
The Band of the Royal Artillery were also in attendance to entertain the guests and spectators.
The King's Troop RHA firing a Royal Salute is one of the most spectactular forms of ceremonial to be seen in London. Seventy-one horses take part, and the officers and soldiers wear their spectacular ceremonial full dress uniforms. For salutes in Hyde Park, the six guns form up in a line abreast and gallop into action. A salute of 41 guns is fired, and as the last round echoes across the park, the guns are hooked into their team of horses and they gallop away.
