Commemorative plaque
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A commemorative plaque, or simply plaque, is a plate of metal, ceramic, stone, wood, or other material, typically attached to a wall or other vertical surface, and bearing text in memory of an important figure or event.
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.
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.
