Sgt Rusiate Bolavucu, 32, representing part of the 1st Battalion Duke of Lancaster Regiment, was following an ancient tradition from his homeland when the Queen visited Kendal, Cumbria. The Queen was not fazed by the unusual act as she already knew that it is a mark of respect in Fiji. Thousands came out in the sunshine to catch a glimpse of Her Majesty and the Princess Royal, as they stopped at Kendal, Burneside, Bowness and Windermere.
This is done through a variety of actions taking into account body posture and position, clothing and gestures. In Fijian culture it is thought that good things come through the head and are passed down to the feet. It is important to make sure that one's head is not above others in the room.
