The Queen's Birthday - 21 April
The Queen's real birthday is on 21 April (she also has an "official" birthday in June which is marked by the Trooping the Colour ceremony). It is traditional for soldiers to fire cannons to celebrate royal birthdays or other national events.

A 41-gun salute at 12 noon fired by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery in Hyde Park, London
A 62-gun salute at 1pm fired by the Honourable Artillery Company at the Tower of London
A 21-gun salute at 12 noon at The Long Walk in the grounds of Windsor Castle, Windsor
