The Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) will be firing a 62-gun salute from four 25-pounder guns on Tower Wharf (that cobbled path between the Tower of London and the river).

The gun salute is being fired to celebrate King Charles III's Coronation in Westminster Abbey.

There are quite a few military events and parades being planned for this month and the next to celebrate the King's accession. You can see what's coming up with our list of parades.
