Jan 6, 2011 - i think the funniest thing i've ever seen with Auld Lang Syne was at the turn of the century... when tony blare doing this with the queen and she never knew what to do, so she kind of plucked their hands and swung them up and down...it was honestly priceless !

Feb 11, 2011 - She actually did it correctly, everyone else was wrong: In countries other than Scotland the hands are often crossed from the beginning of the song at variance with Scottish custom. The Scottish practice was demonstrated by the Queen at the Millennium Dome celebrations for the year 2000. The English press berated her for not "properly" crossing her arms, unaware that she was correctly following the Scottish tradition

Feb 13, 2011 - Let me get this straight, she was correct my "plucking" the hands of the prime minister and snaking them about in the wrong direction? no, not only am i Scottish i have studied Scottish and World music. There is no customary way to do it, you cross arms as it is a symbol of the bond between what was known as the Scottish Monarchy and the Clans. Quite simple and if you had some research you would know that, the queen was just rude.

LadySimone82 Says:

Mar 26, 2011 - I've always seen it done in this way: For the first stanza everyone just takes the hands of their neighbours (without crossing). Only in the second stanza ("Now here's a hand my trusty friend") do people cross arms. So as far as I know that is the Scottish tradition. I've never seen anything else in Scotland...
