The wave is the most common gesture．To greet each other or to say goodbye，most people raise their hand and move it from side to side．One famous wave is made by the Queen．You can watch a video to see how Her Majesty（女王陛下） does her tasteful（高雅的） wave．

The V Sign

You may just he trying to spread peace and love，but if you are in the UK，please pay attention to where your hand is facing．Let the back of your hand face yourself，or it becomes an impolite gesture．
