The King's Troop RHA firing a Royal Salute is the most spectacular form of ceremonial pagentry to be seen in London. Seventy-five horses take part and the officers and soldiers wear their colourful ceremonial full dress. The six guns form up in a line abreast in Hyde Park and gallop into action. A salute of 41 guns is then fired and as the last round echoes across the park, the guns are hooked into their team of horses before they gallop away.
