Army Anger at Naked Salute Facebook Page

The 'naked salute' faceboook page created for squaddies to show their support for Prince Harry by posing naked has become an internet sensation, but not everyone is amused.

The soldiers and their wives who are stripping off and saluting to show support for Prince Harry, and posting the pictures on Facebook, may be reprimanded themselves.

A source told the Daily Mail: "Everyone sees the funny side but there are people at senior levels in the Army who do not consider this to be appropriate. They will be thinking 'Does this really shows us in the professional light we want to be seen in?'."
