Queen Camilla's special 76th birthday celebration organised by King Charles

Queen Camilla turned 76 on Monday, and her husband King Charles III has ensured that Her Majesty's special day is marked in a very unique way.

London will hear a very special gun salute on the day to mark her birthday, and it is the first time Her Majesty has been afforded this honour, which is reserved for the King and Queen on their birthdays.

In a press release from the British Army, it was announced: "The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery will fire a 41 Gun Royal Salute from 1200hrs" and "The Honourable Artillery Company will fire a 62 Gun Royal Salute from Tower Wharf, 17 July 2023, from 1300hrs."

Dog walkers have even been advised to avoid the area because the loud noise could startle pooches.

Camilla has received birthday wishes on Instagram from the Prince and Princess of Wales as well the main Royal Family account.

Prince William and Princess Kate said: "Happy birthday to Her Majesty the Queen," alongside a photograph of Camilla smiling away at Wimbledon – a shot that was taken earlier this week during her visit.
