Very sad news to read. I imagine there's not much you can do about this sort of crime except replace the flags. The more personal items are irreplaceable.
There is a permanent memorial about 700 yards from where Lee Rigby was murdered. It also honours two victims of the Woolwich pub bombings. It's unveiling was attended by Lee Rigby's widow and son.
That's a good idea just make sure the CCTV camera is working/switched on unlike the one over the road from the Lawrence plaque in Well Hall Road.
Of course, what's the point in having cameras that don't work?
Funny how they got it working after it was vandalised...remember it had a 24 hour police guard for several months as well.
The first camera put up was just a dummy, once the memorial got vandalised and it got out that the camera was a fake, a working camera (CCTV) was installed pretty quickly.

Does a memorial have to be where the tragedy happened? It’s on a busy road, at the back of a school, at the back of the barracks, at the back of a big block of flats. Not really the place for quiet contemplation. As Henry pointed out there is something at St.Georges, but I don’t know how easy it is to get access to it.
Why use a dummy one? Surely they aren't that expensive?
Just putting up a pole with a dummy camera on top is a lot cheaper then actually providing the real thing , ie:- providing a fibre optic link to it and back to a CCTV control room.

Why's it got to be a Pole? Why can't a young English kid get an opportunity?

The Cctv camera at the Lawrence plaque has worked since atleast 2005. Police also carry out a check on it 3 times a day, during which they have to call the control room informing them that the check is being carried out. The CAD (the longest running CAD in the Met) is then updated.

We left Eltham at the end of 2005, (the plaque was outside my neighbours, we lived at 322)....always something going on outside our house but never bothered us, we must have had one of the safest houses in SE London especially when the plaque was guarded for 24 hours a day....this must have been around 2002-03.
Noticed on Facebook a couple of the younger Charlton lads (one of their dads posts on here) are going to replace the teddy bear and put some flags back up this weekend.

Surprised by that. Putting aside any other aspects that inevitable arise during these discussions, that really doesn't sound like a great use of a stretched police forces time and resources.

RIP Drummer Lee Rigby
It still amazes me how much misguided hatred some people have.

The people who attacked the flags etc are still scum though.

Very proud to add these to the archives.
RIP
Well done to them
St Georges Garrison Church, which includes the Lee Rigby memorial, looking for volunteers.
