Thirteen gun salute for Guernsey military hero Sir Isaac Brock

The salute at Castle Cornet was fired at midday

A 13-gun salute has taken place at Castle Cornet to commemorate Guernsey military hero Maj Gen Sir Isaac Brock.

Gen Isaac Brock died in 1812 leading a British, Canadian and First Nation army to victory over an invading American army.

The Guernsey-born British army general became known as The Saviour of Upper Canada.

The commemorations marked the 210th anniversary of his death.

Oliver Brock, a first cousin six times removed of Gen Brock, said he and his family had been looking forward to the event.

He said: "The commemorations today are a part of what we can to to show that we respect the man that a lot of people in Canada feel started their nationhood."
