Children of the Royal Borough are invited to help wish His Majesty The King a happy birthday, by taking part in the traditional 21-gun salute outside Windsor Castle, on Friday 14 November 2025.
The council will be celebrating His Majesty’s 77th birthday at noon, with the annual firing of 21 mini cannons on The Long Walk, near the Brook Street entrance, with the special tribute led by the Mayor of Windsor and Maidenhead.
As usual, a handful of lucky children attending the ceremony will be chosen at random to support the event, under the safe supervision of an ordnance expert.
This is a longstanding Windsor tradition and we’re once again excited to be firing the cannons for the birthday of His Majesty King Charles III.
This is an exciting opportunity for our younger residents to play a part in the birthday celebrations, and always attracts a sizeable crowd of spectators within the historic setting of Windsor Castle’s grounds.
