Gun salute to be fired to commemorate Camilla’s first birthday as Queen

A gun salute will be fired in honour of Queen Camilla‘s 76th birthday today in London.

On May 6, she will turn one, and The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery Battery will fire a 41-gun salute in her.

Gunshots will continue to ring out in Green Park every ten seconds until the historic ceremony begins at noon.

Dogwalkers have been advised to avoid the area during this time as the noise ‘is very loud and can be startling’ for animals.

Camilla has seemingly had a good week in the run up to her birthday.

She and her sister Annabel Elliot made a surprise visit to Wimbledon on Wednesday.

Her Majesty spoke to a ball boy and two ball girls as well as staff working at the grounds before heading to the royal box to watch the tennis on Centre Court.

The following day, Camilla and Charles visited St Ives, in Cornwall, where they were greeted with applause from cheerful crowds who lined the streets to meet them.

Their trip included museums and an art sculpture garden, ending with Camilla visiting the Women’s Centre Cornwall.

The charity provides specialist support to women and girls who have survived domestic or sexual abuse.

Just under two weeks ago, Charles and Camilla were presented with the Scottish crown jewels in a lavish ceremony in Edinburgh.

The Red Arrows performed a special flypast as they watched from the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
