Remembrance Protocol

Very nice Remembrance service at my local church this morning.

The priest-in-charge stated that he wanted the congregation to remain seated during the two minute silence as that way we could see the wreaths which were laid at the altar.

I appreciate that elderly, infirm or disabled may remain seated but wondered whether it is protocol to stand during the two minute silence? I notice that those who serve or have served in the forces remain standing.
