I remember reading an official publication about (possibly defunct) protocol for the Irish national anthem. I think for women it's holding the hand over the heart, and for men it's holding the hat over the heart. Of course that dated from the time when men wore hats.
Whenever I've gone to a match which the President has attended, at least half the crowd stands at the presidential salute thinking it's the national anthem.
