World Series
In the United Kingdom, blue plaques are attached to buildings to commemorate their association with important occupants or events.
A monumental plaque or tablet commemorating a deceased person or persons, can be a simple form of church monument.
After the First World War, the families of British service men and women killed during the conflict were presented with bronze memorial plaques. The plaques, around 120mm in diameter, were designed by the eminent sculptor and medallist, Edward Carter Preston.
Awards
Plaques are also given as awards instead of trophies or ribbons. Such plaques usually bear text describing the reason for the award and, often, the date of the award.
