Children are invited to help wish The King a happy birthday by taking part in the traditional 21-gun salute outside Windsor Castle. The council will be celebrating His Majesty’s 75th birthday with the annual firing of mini cannon on The Long Walk, near the Brook Street entrance. Cllr Knowles said: “This annual gun salute on the reigning monarch’s birthday is a long-standing Windsor tradition, and this year will be only the second time we’re firing the guns to wish His Majesty a happy birthday. “This is an exciting opportunity for our younger residents to play a part in the birthday celebrations, with Windsor Castle as the historic backdrop. If your children would like to be involved, simply turn up by 11.40am and they might be fortunate to be picked.”
