Editing Salute (section)

====Canada====

Much as the British salute described above (except the palm is level with the ground, without the U.S.A. slight over-rotation of the wrist), the [[Canadian military]] salutes to demonstrate a mark of respect and courtesy for the commissioned ranks. When in uniform and not wearing headdress one does not salute. Instead, compliments shall be paid by standing at attention. If on the march, arms shall be swung and the head turned to the left or right as required.<ref>{{cite book|title=CF Manual of Drill and Ceremonial|publisher=Directorate of History and Heritage|pages=1–2–3|chapter=1 section 2}}</ref>

On [[Remembrance Day]], 2009, [[Charles III of the United Kingdom|The Prince of Wales]] attended the national ceremony in [[Ottawa]] with [[Governor General of Canada|Governor General]] [[Michaëlle Jean]]—both wearing Canadian military dress. [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]] live television coverage of the event noted that, when Prince Charles saluted, he performed the Canadian form of the salute with a cupped hand (the British "naval salute"—appropriate, as he did his military service as an officer in the Royal Navy), adopted by all elements of the [[Canadian Forces]] after unification in 1968, rather than the British (Army) form with the palm facing forward.
