It is interesting that the person announcing the event described this gun salute as a 21-gun salute -- it is not. It is a 3-volley salute with a 7-member rifle team, which means 21 shots are fired. However, true 21-gun salutes are reserved for heads of state and use 21 canons or other pieces of battle artillery fired one shot at a time.
