April 21, 2008

A young gunner falls from her mount during the gallop as part of a 41-gun royal salute by the Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery in Hyde Park in London. The uninjured trooper got to her feet with a smile to rejoin her troop. The traditional salute, also marked by a gun salute at Tower Bridge, was to mark Queen Elizabeth's 82nd birthday.
