L2017_2189 - Armed Forces Day 2017 - Liverpool Pier Head

FIRE! - The best view of the gun salute fired from L118 light guns was to be had from the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's MANANNAN which was berthed at the Landing Stage preparing to depart on her 11:15 departure for Douglas. Passengers had been warned by the captain in advance not to be alarmed by gun fire!

 

It is not very often one gets the chance to photograph guns firing when you are almost looking down the barrel! The gun crews were from 103 Regiment Royal Artillery.
