The Gun Salute took the form of a 41 round minute gun with one round fired each minute.As well as marking Prince Philip's death, this was a moment to remember his military service, active service in the World War Two and honorary commands for many decades after it.At 1200 today (10 April) a Death Gun Salute was fired to mark the death of His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh. Across the United Kingdom, in Gibraltar and on HM Ships at sea, saluting batteries fired 41 rounds at one round every minute for 40 minutes.
