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.
