Military celebrates King’s 76th birthday with gun salutes across the country…. Check In For More Details

Gun salutes are sounding across the country to mark King Charles’ 76th birthday.

In London, the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery fired a 41 Gun Royal Salute in Green Park, while the Honourable Artillery Company fired a 62 Gun Royal Salute from Tower Wharf.

The King has marked the occasion with a visit to a surplus food festival – he has opened the first Coronation Food Hub in southeast London.

Earlier this month, the Military Wives Choirs celebrated the King’s birthday by releasing a new song called November Sunday.

The lullaby reflects on the “chilly, foggy London night” in 1948 when Charles was born at Buckingham Palace, capturing a post-war Britain filled with hope.

The song also honours his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who, like many Military Wives Choirs members, served in the Armed Forces and was herself a military wife.

The Military Wives Choirs charity was “honoured” to receive a letter of thanks and support from the King.

The King has been inundated with birthday wishes from across the military community.
