The SNP's new MP for Coatbridge Chryston & Bellshill appeared to make a small republican protest as he was sworn in as a Member of Parliament this afternoon.
Steven Bonnar took the oath which is required by all MPs before they can took up his post - in it you swear allegiance to "Queen Elizabeth II, her heirs and successors".
But for many MPs - from Scottish Nationalists to Republicans - the idea of taking an oath to the monarchy is politically...difficult.
Mr Bonnar appeared to cross his fingers as he took the oath and then made he was taking so he could sevrve the people of Coatbridge Chryston & Bellshill.
In 2015 Richard Burgon used a very similar form of words to register his protest.
A tweet from Mr Bonnar didn't mention his protest - and used a picture where you couldn't see his fingers.
His tweet read: "That's us all official now.
"I have been sworn in as the MP for Coatbridge Chryston and Bellshill.
"I look forward to serving all constituents to the best of my ability for the time Scotland remains within the UK."
The SNP's Gavin Newlands said he was affirming in order to "serve my constituents".
His party colleague Mhairi Black said her allegiance is "first and foremost" to her Paisley and Renfrewshire South constituents and she was making the pledge "for the purpose of the job".
Anne McLaughlin, also from the SNP , said her "primary allegiance is to the people of Glasgow North East and the people of Scotland".
The SDLP's Claire Hanna wrote to Speaker Lindsay Hoyle to register her opposition to making the oath.
In a letter to Sir Lindsay she said: "I submit this letter to you to register a respectful protest against the requirement that I make a statement of allegiance to the Crown as a precondition for taking my seat.
"I chose an affirmation rather than an oath, but the words do not reflect my outlook."
After reiterating her commitment to the Good Friday Agreement, she added: "I do not believe it serves trust in Parliament for MPs to be obliged to rehearse pledges that are not true for them.
"I believe a better pledge would be one to parliamentary service on behalf of our constituents, with an allegiance pledge for those who wish to make one."
