Noon on a Saturday at Valletta MALTA
Firing the Blomefield 1807 24 pounder at Upper Barracca Garden in Valletta
Every Saturday at noon, the former Saluting Battery at the Upper Barracca Garden in Valletta, the Capital of Malta, resounds to the sound of an 1807 Blomefield  24 pounder.

Denis Darmanin, pictured on right, who is involved in the restoration and rehabilitation of Fort Rinella on the Mediterrean Island sent these pictures. You can find more about their efforts at  their web site

The courage of the people of Malta during World  War 2 was recognised with the award of the George Cross by the British Crown.
