U.S. Army soldiers serving with NATO in Gloucester have marked Independence Day - as the City’s cathedral changed its bells to chime the U.S. national anthem, especially for the American forces based in the area.
The troops paraded in front of Gloucester Cathedral on July 4th as the bells rang out the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ across the historic city. The special rendition was to honour ten years of U.S. forces in Gloucester as part of NATO’s Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC).
The tune was originally composed by Gloucester-born John Stafford Smith in the 1770s and later adopted as the U.S. national anthem.
