“His Majesty also heard about the Regiment’s training and equipment - before being invited to fire a L118 Light Gun himself!” the statement further read.

“To commemorate His Majesty’s first visit as Captain General, The King was presented with an engraved 105mm Cartridge which was fired during Their Majesties’ Coronation,” it concluded.
