An annual parade to celebrate the Queen’s official 87th Birthday was carried out yesterday evening in Grand Casemates Square. The event was kicked off with The Band and Corps of Drums of the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment marching onto the parade ground with The Band and Corps of Drums of the Royal Gibraltar Regiment. The bands were eventually followed by The Queen’s and Regimental Colours of the Royal Gibraltar Regiment.
The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo then arrived, followed by His Excellency the Governor who received the Keys of Gibraltar from the Port Sergeant and then went on to inspect the parade. The event also saw a 21-gun salute and 3 cheers for Her Majesty the Queen, carried out.
The Ministry of Culture has been working closely with the ‘Word of Mouth’ production company in order to provide a more entertaining programme for ‘Calentita Night.’ This year’s gastronomy festival will be held on Saturday 22nd June, starting at 8pm.
In line with a manifesto commitment to improve the event, this year’s festival- goers can expect a variety of spectacular entertainments rather than a programme which focusses largely on a fireworks display.
A twenty year old local resident was prosecuted in court today after being arrested by HM Customs on March 30th, 2013.
