The protocol is for everyone to remove their hat when their national anthem is played, or when you Another Country's anthem is played. Some exceptions apply - for example, a Sikh's turban or a Muslim's head scarf will likely be left on.

For men, a hat should be removed when you meet a lady and then left off for the rest of your life - nothing looks more ridiculous than a hat.
