I saw that too.
OH said he saw it too...I didn't but then I was on here. Wonder what the media will make of it.
Yep, we all saw that too.

Still many references to the war during the ceromony should have p*ssed the Krauts off
It looked very suspicious to me.
We all saw it too (having a party) and we all literally went "did you see that? He didn't...did he?" we were all stunned!
Looks like somebody not in the best of health trying to wave.
I agree, I think it was simply a wave, it only looks like a Nazi salute if it's paused at the correct (wrong) time.

It's also the wrong arm to be a nazi salute.
A left wing Nazi perhaps?
As in National Socialist?
And if it was indeed a Nazi salute where does that leave Cammy and Boris who seem to think it quite the lark.
As in his left "wing" or, to put it another way, his arm.
Well her step son dressed as a Nazi for a party once, can hardly complain can she? ;-)
The British Royal Family? German? Naaaaah, it's all Greek to me.......d'oh!!!!!
I'm just trawling last night's posts to see if there was a comment about this! I couldn't believe it when I saw it. Definitely looked a bit suss to me. The commentators were diplomatic and didn't mention it. Reminds me of this Father Ted clip.
