April 21st 2012 : The Big Bang – Queen’s Birthday Salute

To celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s 86th birthday the museum planned a 21-gun salute in her honour. Although the weather wasn’t favourable and prevented the firing of all 21 rounds, fifteen shots were fired from our 25 pounder gun. Overall the day was a big success with a good number of visitors turning out for our first event of the year. Feedback and updates about this event can be found on our Facebook page.
