A POIGNANT gun salute rang out across London today to mark the Queen’s incredible 96 years.
The nation has united in grief after Her Majesty’s tragic death yesterday in Balmoral.
The stunned silence shared by Brits at her passing was broken at 1pm today as the Death Gun Salute exploded from Hyde Park.
One round was fired every ten seconds – with 96 shots in total to represent a year of the Queen’s life.
The King’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery left their base at Wellington Barracks, which is next to Buckingham Palace, this afternoon.
A procession of 71 horses then made its way up Birdcage Walk, past the Queen Victoria Memorial, up Constitution Hill and into Hyde Park.

ハッキリさせていくべきだ。デタラメなら廃止して大統領せいにするべきds
日本の皇室は明治より天皇がすりかわって戦争のみちに走ってしまった。いまだにデタラメな皇室が天皇だと名のってる。イギリスの王室はどうなの?こんなデタラメな日本の皇室と仲良くできるということはイギリス王室も実はデタラメな王室ではないのか?
Wonderful tribute to a wonderful queen 👑💖
Hope the royal family are doing ok
අපෙන් අරන් ගියපු කාල තුවක්කු 😥😥😥

Dddddddddddonបាញសុបិន

Her LEGACY: HM QUEEN ELISABETH II LEFT A UNITED KINGDOM (ENGLAND SCOTLAND WALES NORTHEN IRELAND) & COMMONWEALTH! 💐💐💐
News flash—— The Queen is still dead.
Turut berdukacita semoga Yang Mulia Ratu Elizabeth II diberikan tempat terindah di syurga🙏
this is what makes britain great the traditions are amazing, and the forces are so beautifully presented and proud of what they do.
The queen of England sure liked her guns and so do I god help the USA
shes going to hell!!!
God Bless the United Kingdom. Rule Britannia! From Canada
Thank you from Canada 🇨🇦
Rest in Piece, dear Grandma Lisa. We will see you and your prince very, very soon. All your Russians (TRUE Russians-Tullian's) children. Amen. GOD.
Letting the heavens know she's coming.
As an Irish person honestly I don't think highly of her
I need one of those for errr…..pest control…
Gun salute for a dead diamond smuggler ain't worth it.She's already in hell with Adolf and Leopold II.
Reports just in that a farmer in Wales has lost 96 sheep this afternoon in what has been described as "extraordinary circumstances".
RIP
THERE IS NO ONE USELESS, ENGLAND IN THE PIT OF DECLINE
Military discipline and perfection ❤️
Ddddddddfddddon
The most important now is the speech Queen Elizabeth 2 broadcasted on media about God's son Jesus Christ who came an died for us. If she had not done that I think she would be in trouble now with God, because all God wanna hear is work done for his son Jesus Christ, he don't wanna hear about any Monochy or material things on her judgment. I am correct. 👍
Ukrainian refugees look away now
In this century, they are still ruled by the kingdom, but they are talking about democracy to the world, isn't it interesting and ironic 😀
RIP queen
Sincere condolences to all of the British people and all of the Royal Family.
This is why I love traditions and history
FOR THE KING AND SAINT GEORGE!
🇨🇦
She s in the gulag, she has a chance, if she wins the 1v1 she ll be redeployed, i hear she s facing diana
Ironic since guns are outlawed
Before social media this is how everyone knew.
If ONLY someONE had a BattleShip still in service…you could really Express the message across with 16 Inch Guns!…Hmmmm Imagine that kind of message being felt along the shores on the UK.
I imagine UKRAINE helped recognize this moment and Honored the Queen by doing the same thing…but with real shells.
Heard in the nether
Wow
By the pomp you'd think a dictator died
Ddddddddddddon
