[edit] Contradiction?

This article seems to contradict itself - it implies the Queen's official birthday may co-incide with the Duke of Edinburgh's birthday, then defines the first as (1st sat after Jun 11) and the other as June 10th... 131.111.135.27 11:39, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 19-gun salute?

The page 19-gun salute redirects here but there is no mention of the signifigance (or insignificance for that matter) of this smaller number of guns. I'm curious and my question is left unanswered. Does somebody know? If so, it would be good to mention it in the text of the article -- even briefly. --mako ^{(talk•contribs)} 16:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

A 19-gun salute (in the U.S. anyway) is reserved for a vice-head of state, and if I remember correctly, Chiefs of Staffs, Presidential Cabinet members, and 5-Star Generals. (years ago, this would be no-brainer, but, it's been a while though...) Ryecatcher773 05:48, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{Globalize/en}}

I'm wondering about {{Globalize/en}} on this article. To what extent are 21 gun salute common military practice around the world? Is this article US/England centric because they are more widespread in those countries? —mako (talk•contribs) 19:23, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Unless I get an answer to this, I'm going to remove the template from the article page. —mako (talk•contribs) 15:09, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
