Just a single "Boom" Bayleaf, - unless they make a double barrelled cannon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Just a two cannon job on this event, when we have more we do try to set 'em off in sequence. Just a single "Boom" Bayleaf, - unless they make a double barrelled cannon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the bit about the rehearsals for Thatcher's funeral, they were carried out in the early hours so as not to disrupt anything. There was a gun salute to be carried out, so for the rehearsals there were gun teams in position but so as not to disturb anyone but to get the timing right there was a soldier who said 'bang' instead of firing the guns.

RichardB Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 We were so far away from the crowd we just resorted to making a lot of noise and smoke, very enjoyable, On the third day I got to sit on the grass the whole battle with the box of powder and looking out for the horses running about, great fun and knees not too shot the make the Oxford to Newcastle drive - tired though. That's a very impressive turnout Richard, it must have been quite a sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
