I'd be surprised if much planning has gone into that yet - BA has more important things to worry about at the moment.
In normal times, I would expect the retirement of a type to be marked by one or more commemorative flights, but these days I wouldn't take that for granted.
It may well be that the only remaining flights will be to wherever the airframes are going to be scrapped. That will certainly apply to the 9 aircraft currently at LHR (because BA no longer scraps aircraft in its own backyard); the five at Teruel may well be broken up there (as some have been previously); ditto some or all of the 14 at Cardiff (or possibly down the road at St Athan).
So the final BA 747 flight will likely be when the last of the 9 makes its final departure from LHR for wherever. I expect that to be a very emotional event, and I'll certainly be there to witness it.
