I am a Catholic in the UK and I have been invited to the confirmation of a friend into the Church of England. I was previously a member of the C of E so understand the traditions of the church but my inclination is to act as I would in a Catholic church by genuflecting etc
 
No, don’t. For one thing, you might offend someone if they don’t believe in doing it, and for another, you are saying that they have the Real Presence, which as Catholics we don’t believe.

A respectful bow to the cross which you’ll probably see somewhere near the altar, or on it, will be best.

Do not genuflect…Do not receive communion…
