A band from the Irish Guards performed a programme of popular pieces and traditional marches from late morning, drawing spectators toward the saluting position near the Joy of Life fountain in Hyde Park.<\/p>\n
Shortly before midday, 71 horses pulling six First World War-era field guns moved into the park in formation. Riders from the King\u2019s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, wearing gold-braided uniforms and busby hats, brought the guns into position before the horses were led away.<\/p>\n
On command, the 41-gun royal salute began. Six guns fired in sequence at intervals of around ten seconds until all rounds had been discharged. Each shot produced a flash and a loud report, with smoke visible across the park.<\/p>\n
After the final round, Princess Anne carried out an inspection of the regiment. The review comes ahead of a series of upcoming ceremonial duties, including participation in the State Opening of Parliament.<\/p>\n
The Honourable Artillery Company also performed a 62-gun royal salute at the Tower of London at 1pm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
