For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It's a difficult one, I can see that a memorial at the scene would invite vandalism, no doubt about that and at the barracks then excludes all other fallen soldiers with connections to that barracks who've not had plaques. On the face of it I'd think the drum in his hometown would suffice, we need to remember he was a soldier - but then I've not lost a son in this way so maybe I'm being insensitive.
I am not sure if this may have some bearing aog. What do you think ?

No precedent would be set by having a memorial in London for a murdered soldier. All killed by cowardly terrorists.

The circumstances of the murder of Lee Rigby are completely unique and very different to both Stephen Laurence and Yvonee Fletcher. Whilst a memorial's purpose is to remind us of a person or event there is little chance the Lee Rigby's name will ever be forgotten. Although it would be nice for the Rigby family to have some sort of memorial, I don't think they need to worry about his name or the horrible circumstances of his death ever being forgotten.

*** The same arguments were raised over the Stephen Lawrence plaque but the council installed CCTV to protect it, why not the same treatment for a soldier ? ***
