A superb day again at the castle park.

Colchester was granted the honor of being chosen by the Queen as one of the Saluting Stations firing a 21-gun salute to mark the Queen's Official Birthday. There were only ten other suluting stations in the UK and two in Gibraltar.

The weather was dry and the salute was carried out by the 210 (Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire Yeomanry) Regiment Royal Artillery using 105mm guns.

Lord Petre, the Lord Lieutenant of Essex was the Queen's representative.

The Minden Band of the Queen's Division provided an excelent display and the music.
