This historic event is not only a privilege for the sol‐diers, but also forms part of a lengthy tradition. Soldiers from their Regiment’s prede‐cessor, the Gibraltar Defence Force, took part in the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Corona‐tion in 1953.

The commanding officer of the RG, Colonel Matthew Moore, is confident that his officers and soldiers will per‐ form this duty with great pride and to the highest stan‐dards. Private Griffin, one of the soldiers taking part also described it as a massive privilege and honour to rep‐resent the Regiment in the UK.

The territory of Gibraltar it‐self will mark the Coronation with a Royal Gun salute of 21 rounds, while street parties will take place to celebrate the momentous occasion.
