15th June - King Charles III's official birthday
12.52 PM - A gun salute will be fired in Green Park to mark the King's official birthday (his real birthday is in November).
The crowds for this one will be absolutely huge because it takes place on the same day as Trooping the Colour - thousands of people will be crowding down the Mall to watch the RAF flyover at Buckingham Palace.
17th July - Queen Camilla's birthday
12 noon - The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery (KTRHA) will be firing a 41-gun salute on the northern edge of Green Park, a short distance from Constitution Hill, to celebrate Queen Camilla's birthday.
Trust us when we say you won't have any trouble finding it because the booming guns can be heard halfway up Piccadilly.
1 PM - The Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) will then perform their own salute at Tower Wharf - that cobbled path between the Tower of London and the river.
9th September - Accession Day
12 noon - The KTRHA will perform a 41-gun salute in Hyde Park to mark the anniversary of King Charles III's accession to the throne on the 8th September 2022. (Salutes are never fired on a Sunday, so the salute will actually take place on the 9th.)
1 PM - An hour later the HAC will use four 25-pounder guns to fire their own salute outside the Tower of London.
10th November - Remembrance Sunday
11 AM and 11.02 AM - Guns will be fired twice on Horse Guards Parade, to signal the beginning and end of the two-minute silence at the Remembrance Day Parade.
14th November - King Charles III's real birthday
12 noon - The KTRHA will fire a 41-gun salute on the northern edge of Green Park to mark King Charles III's birthday.
1 PM - The HAC will then fire their own salute on Tower Wharf - that cobbled river path outside the Tower of London.
The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery (KTRHA)
The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery are always a fine sight in their gold braided jackets and busby hats, pulling their First World War-era field guns into place with 71 horses.
When the command is given each of the guns fire off a blank artillery round at 10-second intervals. White smoke lingers in the air for a total of 41 shots, and then the horses collect the guns and escort them back to barracks.
The Honourable Artillery Company (HAC)
The Honourable Artillery Company are another fine sight, drawing their light artillery guns through the streets of London from Armoury House to Tower Wharf.
They set the guns up on the river and fire off rounds that reverberate off the Tower battlements. When it's all over the Regiment recovers the guns and escorts them back to barracks.
If you enjoy Green Park then you might like to visit Hyde Park (walk it in 18 mins or catch a tube from Green Park to Marble Arch), Kensington Gardens (Green Park to Queensway), Regent’s Park (Green Park to Regents Park), St. James’s Park (you can walk it 10 mins) and Victoria Embankment Gardens (walk it in 20 mins or Green Park to Embankment)
