Royal Princess Gun Salute 3

            The soldiers, horses and guns of the The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery at London’s Hyde Park at 2pm on Bank Holiday Monday May 4 2015 to deliver a 41 gun royal salute marking the birth of Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, the second child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

53 soldiers and 71 horses pulling six First World War era Ordnance Quick Fire 13-Pounder Field Guns were involved in the royal salute near Park Lane - roughly half way between Marble Arch and Hyde Park Corner. The six guns fired blank artillery rounds at 10 second intervals until 41 shots had been fired.

At the same time The Honourable Artillery Company fired a 62 round royal salute at the Tower of London. The extra 21 rounds indicate the royal salute had been fired from the City of London as a sign of loyalty to the Monarch.

The basic royal salute is 21 rounds with an extra 20 rounds added in a royal park.
