A detachment of the First Regiment of the Honourable Artillery Company fires a 41 round salute on four guns on the embankment at the Tower of London, on Nov. 15, 1948, to mark the birth of a royal prince to Princess Elizabeth on the previous day. The Company is England's oldest regiment, dating back to at least 1537, and by ancient rights has the privilege of firing the salute from the Tower of London.
