Who can lay wreaths on a war memorial during a Remembrance service? How long should wreaths stay on war memorials after a Remembrance service?
There are no definitive ‘rules’ about wreaths on war memorials and the format of Remembrance services. As the vast majority of war memorials were created by the local community, decisions about war memorials are generally held to be up to the local community. Therefore, whatever the local community feels is appropriate would be suitable. War Memorials Trust would only recommend the premature removal of wreaths from war memorials if they are causing damage to the fabric of the memorial.
