Master Gunner 'Gilly' Gilman fires the 1 O'clock gun at Elizabeth Castle, just off St Helier in St Aubin's Bay, Jersey. I wanted to get the full loading and firing sequence in, but I didn't have enough memory left on my camera.

Believe me, 1lb of gunpowder going off is a hell of a lot louder in real life...
