The Bellamy salute, seen above, was an extremely common salute to a flag from the 1890’s until its appropriation by fascists beginning in the 20’s. It was the standard flag salute in the U.S. until 1942 when it was replaced by the hand over the heart salute. As the Queen appears to be about five here it is not at all peculiar to see this. Try doing some research before you post something this moronic and reveal your ignorance while calling others retards.
