Just like everyone else, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
celebrates her birthday. But unlike everyone else, she gets so much more than
the usual cake and wine. In fact, she gets a gun salute on her birthday, something
that only a few people on Earth get to experience.
A gun salute is done on
the day of the queen’s birthday. There are currently two sets of gun salutes
you need to keep an eye out for. The first set of gun salute can be seen and
heard during midday at Hyde Park on
the day of the queen’s actual birthday, which is April 21. This sprawling park
is one of the most famous parks in London. Tourists visit this park in droves
and they seem to double during the queen’s birthday.
Many people flock to this
location in order to see the spectacular display that honor’s the queen on her
birthday. If you want to make sure that you get a good view of the festivities,
Presidential Apartment
Marylebone is available for you. You can rent these apartments easily by
making a reservation online or calling the reservation number.
After the midday gun
salute, a 62-gun salute can be seen
and heard at the Tower of London. The
Tower of London in itself is already a spectacular landmark to behold. When
the gun salute is added, it becomes a marvelous display of unquestioning
loyalty to the monarchy. During the festivities, you can see horses on full
gallop. They never do that on any other occasion so it is truly a sight to behold.
Just like Hyde Park, the
Tower of London becomes a huge melting pot of tourists and local’s alike
waiting for the gun salutes to proceed. Many people come out just to see the
wonderful show that honors the reigning monarch. The organizers of said event
never fail to wow the crowd and give them the best display.
Covent
Garden accommodation in London is the best places to view the festivities
without being jostled by the crowd. From these nearby apartments, you can see
all the events in the comfort of your own room.
Going to London to see
the festivities associated with the queen’s birthday is a once in a lifetime
event you should never miss.
