just a friendly nudge Bill lol, I did not even see your post until after I had posted mine.
I have only ever heard of a 21 gun salute ! How can you heAR IT IN oz ?
Educate me. I know nothing about British culture Well that's not true, they drink better than me. The news here just said, to calebrate her birth, they fired 62 guns. And I thought, why 62 In terms of bloodline, is she the 62nd heir to the throne??
At the Tower of London 62 rounds are fired on Royal anniversaries (the basic 21, plus a further 20 because the Tower is a Royal Palace and Fortress, plus another 21 'for the City of London') and 41 on other occasions.
The Tower of London probably holds the record for the most rounds fired in a single salute: 124 are fired on 10 June when The Queen's official birthday (62 rounds) coincides with The Duke of Edinburgh's birthday (also 62 rounds).
