A 21-GUN Royal Salute will take place in York on Saturday (April 21) to mark the Queen’s 92nd birthday.
A Saluting Troop from 4th Regiment Royal Artillery will fire three 105 mm Light Guns at midday in celebration of Her Majesty’s real birthday.
The National Anthem will be played shortly afterwards.
The Chief Fire Officer for County Durham and Darlington, Stuart Errington will be the Inspecting Officer and will be accompanied by the Deputy Commander of 4th Infantry Brigade, Colonel Andy Hadfield.
The Band of The Yorkshire Regiment will march through the city to Museum Gardens led by the Director of Music, Captain Gary Clegg, to play at the event.
Members of the public will be able to watch the ceremony on the grassed area near the Yorkshire Museum.
The 21-gun Royal Salute will take place simultaneously with 11 other saluting stations around the country. York is the only Saluting Station in the North, and was given the honour to commemorate the 1,900th anniversary of the city in 1971.
The Queen’s official birthday in June will also be marked with a Royal Salute.
