British military salute: When British soldiers salute each other, the palms of their right hands are close to the brim of their hats, and the palms are outward to show that there are no weapons in each other's hands. At the same time, their legs are together and they stand at attention.

It is said that after Britain defeated the Spanish Armada, it held a spectacular celebration for the soldiers who returned home triumphantly. At the conference, Queen Elizabeth I personally presented awards to meritorious soldiers. At that time, in order to safeguard the dignity of the Queen, it was specially stipulated that soldiers should cover their eyes with their hands and not look directly at the Queen when receiving the prize. This action later evolved into a military ceremony in various countries today.
