On Sunday, 8th September 2024, a special full gun salute was fired from the Saluting Battery in Valletta at noon to commemorate Victory Day, a national celebration in Malta marking three significant military triumphs: the defeat of the Ottomans in 1565, the French in 1800, and the Axis forces in 1943. Former Keeper of the Saluting Battery, Mr. Alfred Reale, volunteered for the occasion, leading his well-known appeals throughout the day. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, Mr. Reale was presented with a miniature model of the Saluting Battery time-gun.
