Queen's Birthday Parade
The <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Gibraltar_Regiment" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Royal Gibraltar Regiment</a></b> is the home defence unit for the British overseas territory of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibraltar" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Gibraltar</a>. It was formed in 1958 from the Gibraltar Defence Force as an infantry unit, with an integrated artillery troop.

Initially a reserve force, on the withdrawal of the British Army garrison from the territory in 1991, it was placed on the British Army's regular establishment and attached to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British Forces Gibraltar" rel="noreferrer nofollow">British Forces Gibraltar</a>. It is formed as a standard light infantry battalion with a Headquarters Company and three rifle companies. Of these, two are made up of regular soldiers and the other is a Territorial Army unit. HQ Company includes an artillery troop, equipped with the L118 Light Gun:

    * Organisation
          * HQ Company (Thomson's Battery)
          * G Company (Regular)
          * I Company (Regular)
          * B Company (Territorial)

In 1999 the regiment was granted the Royal title. In March 2001, for the first time, the regiment mounted the guard at Buckingham Palace. In addition to this, the regiment, thanks to its artillery heritage, is also permitted to fire gun salutes from the Tower of London, something that is traditionally done only by the Honourable Artillery Company. The regiment also has responsibility for the Ceremony of the Keys in Gibraltar.
