When the salute is given from a Royal Park an extra 20 guns is added, becoming a 41-gun salute. However, It becomes a 62-gun salute when discharged from a Royal Fortress, like the Tower of London, where the 21-guns fired have an additional 20 volleys added plus a further 20 for it being at the city of London, showing the loyalty of its citizens to the Monarch.

Historically, every king needed the support of the City of London to hold their throne. Without the loyalty of its citizens to the monarch, ancient kings could not control the country. Even today, the King still needs the permission of the Lord Mayor of London to enter the square mile City of London.

British ships carried seven guns so seven shots became the standard to signal that the ship was now unarmed. The guns onshore would welcome the incoming ships by firing three rounds for every shot fired from the ships – putting the total number of shots fired at 21. This explains the 21-gun salute, the most common number of gun salutes used today. The tradition dates from the 15th Century when ships visiting foreign ports would discharge all their guns out to sea on arrival to show they came in peace.

Shortly before midday, riding at speed from the Hyde Park Corner end of Green Park, 71 horses pulling six First World War era 13-pounder Field Guns placed the Guns into position for the Royal Salute beside six ammunition boxes.
