Field Gun Practice at HMNB Devonport

Royal Navy field gun crews practise for the annual Royal Tournament held at Earl’s Court. The military tattoo started at Royal Agricultural Hall in 1907 and moved to the Earl’s Court Exhibition Centre from 1950 with the field gun competition one of the show’s best-loved spectacles. The Royal Tournament ceased in 1999 as part of military cost-saving but an annual field gun competition is held for charity at HMS Collingwood by the Royal Navy and Royal Marines.
