I suspect none.
Do they ignore the respectful silence at eleven o'clock on the eleventh of November ?
I suspect not.
Silence is respectful too.

Silent during our National Anthem. Sung at a service in St Paul's to honour our living WW2 RAF heroes and our war dead.
Disrespectful, repugnant and pathetic.
