Rude Buckingham Palace sentry is off-guard

A Queen's guard was in hot water last night after shocking tourists with a rude gesture outside Buckingham Palace.

His hand signal was videoed by an American sightseer and posted on YouTube.

The sentry is seen moving his clenched fist up and down, apparently in a joke insult to a comrade.

Top brass at first suggested the gesture was a military signal for “Hurry up”.

But the video leaves no doubt about what the soldier means.

You can see the video here.
