I suppose there is little difference between the question asked and 'would it be right to wear a Guards' Uniform or a US Marine's when you have not served in either if, in doing so, your purpose is to honour the memory of another?'

Honouring another takes many forms: a black arm-band during the year following his/her death; a black-wreathed painting or photograph; black garments in the period of mourning. Photos (sans the black) on the mantle or piano for all the years after his/her demise.

I suppose this will cause some discussion once again and, if so, that is good.
