I'd shake his hand and be polite but there's no way I'd bow and I guarantee if he ever visited my fire brigade none of the blokes would bow either.

Following the online article there were a range of reader comments... many of them suggesting they would never show such courtesy to Prince William as they didn't believe he warranted their efforts.

I think it's sad that these people voice such disrespect for a man who may well become their King.

We're nowhere near as buff as the career firefighters I'm afraid, apart from me of course.
