Royal or 21 Gun Salutes are held at Hillsborough & other locations 6 times a year to celebrate various Royal occasions, such as Her Majesty, the Queen's Birthday, or in this case to celebrate the 70th birthday of HRH The Duke of Cornwall. The events are usually partnered by another organisation or charity. On this occasion the event was partnered by the Ards & North Down Borough Council.
