  Is a gun salute still fired from Hyde Park, can anyone tell me? I remember we used to hear this when I was a child growing up in London but I never hear anything about it now.

  No Sis,
  
  A 2 Gun Salute will be fired on Horse Guards Parade one at the start of the 2 minutes silence at 11.00am and one at the end at 11.02am.

  Thanks, Jonnie. From memory, I think they used to be fired at Hyde Park. I always used to stand with my father in the kitchen observing the 2 minute silence, prompted by the guns, which we could hear in the suburbs.

  I was disappointed to hear an American accent yet again. Is it time for Radio 4 to be renamed Voice of America?
