Thanks!!! Fantastic look - kudos to the dressers and the uniform designers.

The top picture of your last post shows The Prince, saluting in a very un-British Army style(the second picture is classic British Army style) and from what I can see the uniforms behind him look a tad unusual for British uniforms. Might, I wonder, this picture have been taken in Canada whilst reviewing Canadian kilted Regiments? I am not sure how the Canadian Army salutes.

With unification in the later '60's, the salute was standardized for the Canadian Forces, to the navy/air force style, perhaps regretfully, although HRH doesn't have it quite correct, as arm and had should be straight. Yes, Canadian uniforms, air force in light blue, and two army uniforms to the sides. HRH wears the Canadian style of poppy as well, thus clearly in Canada. He is Colonel-in-Chief of the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada, thus probably reviewing that unit.

Quite right.

As a student of military courtesy, and for general curiosity, is there a significance to the different salutes, closed and open palm, in these pictures?
