The King’s 77th birthday has been honoured with a ceremonial 41-gun Royal Salute, a long-standing military tradition that requires meticulous planning and preparation.
At midday at Green Park, the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery sounded the salute using six First World War-era 13-pounder field guns drawn by 71 horses.
While 14 November marks the King’s actual birthday, the public celebration – a grand military parade and ceremony known as Trooping the Colour – takes place in June in the better weather.
