The five guns and their crews in the Herastrau Park. They each fired a shot when the parade began.

Or 4 and 1/5 shots each

? For "zero level" inter-state or national protocols (visit of foreign heads of state, national holydays and so one) the rule is that 21 salvoes are fired. For today’s ceremonies, all 21 shots were fired during the intonation of the national anthem.

And finally the 30th Guard Regiment Mihai Viteazul

This unit, which ended the parade, was created in 1860 by the transformation and completition of the 3rd battalion from the 5 Line infantry regiment. It was named Batalionul de vanatori and it had 8 companies (instead of 4, like the “normal” infantry battalions). From the very beginning, because of the armament (the first rifles to be used by the Romanian army, from 1861) and the intensive training it received, it was considered an elite unit - Milea, Pascu, Ceauşescu (ed.) Istoria militară a poporului Român, Bucharest, Editura Militară, 1987, vol. IV, p. 428.

Also, besides its usual military duties its companies formed, by rotation, the guard corps of the princely (and later the royal) palace in Bucharest.

OFF-TOPIC: very nice photos, Victor.
