The Governor then returns to the
front of the guard, thanks the officer commanding the guard, and gives permission, if requested, for the guard to be
marched off. He then acknowledges the salute of the officer
commanding the guard and departs without waiting for the guard to march off. In some Territories, after inspecting
the Guard of Honour, the Governor returns to the saluting
base and receives a second Royal Salute before he leaves.
A guard of honour should always be given, if possible, on
the arrival of any member of a Royal family or of the
President of a republic. At the Governor's discretion guards of honour may also be given on the arrival of high
naval, military or air force officers, or of high civil
officials including high foreign official or personages.
If a guard of honour is given to a member of a Royal family
or to the President of a republic or other distinguished
visitor, and the Governor is present, he should not accompany the distinguished visitor during the inspection of the guard, nor return the salute of a guard given to a distinguished visitor. After the inspection the
distinguished visitor should return to the Governor.
On other occasions the Governor may invite senior officials or distinguished persons to accompany him when he is inspecting the guard; such persons will follow the Governor.
