Queen's 90th birthday to be marked by 21 gun salute at Hillsborough Castle
And in a special gesture, the guns are to be fired by members of Queen’s University Officer Training Corps – under the watchful eye, of course, of Ulster’s Gunners – 206 (Ulster) Battery Royal Artillery.
Whilst Her Majesty’s Official Birthday is not until June her actual birthday will be marked not only by a 21 Gun Salute in Northern Ireland but also by Gun Salutes in London, Edinburgh and Cardiff.
