    As I recall, the determiner for wearing a head cover indoors is whether or not you are "under arms". sword, fire arm, bag pipe, part of a color guard,... If not under arms, remove cover.

    This "under arms" business isn't followed in the UK or Canada. Military personnel are bareheaded in church.

    I can, though, think of two exceptions. Her Majesty's Bodyguard of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms and The Queen's Body Guard of the Yeomen of the Guard wear their helmets and bonnets respectively when on duty in church. It is quite possible that The Royal Company of Archers, The Queen's Bodyguard for Scotland wear their bonnets in church whilst on duty.

    For further information - In the UK, on the very rare occasion of a Lying in State, the four corners of the catafalque are guarded by persons in full uniform. This includes headdress.

    This is a picture of the Prince of Wales standing guard with his brothers, the Duke of York and The Earl of Wessex and the Viscount Linley at the Lying in State of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.


    These events are noteworthy because they are so rare - definitely a case of the exception proving the rule.

    Regards

    Chas, I was about to add that to my post above, but got side-tracked. Thanks for mentioning it.
