The floral arrangements were designed by Shane Connolly and included seasonal flowers and foliage from across the United Kingdom. Among them were flowers symbolic of remembrance placed around the Grave of the Unknown Warrior, including bluebells, forget-me-nots and sprigs of rosemary. In the quire, the colours were inspired by the burgundies, purples, pinks and reds of the Cosmati Pavement with choices including hellebores. At the High Altar, there were boughs cut from shrubs and trees at the five Royal Horticultural Society Gardens, including branches from two Bawyck beech trees planted by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip at RHS Wisley in 1978.
