A tongue of flame and smoke spout from canons as members of the Honorary Artillery Company fire a 62 gun salute at the Tower of London, February 6, 2002, in honor of the 50th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's accession to the throne. The Queen marked 50 years on the British throne, breaking with tradition to stage a public engagement that harks back to her father's death following cancer half a century ago.
