Memorial Trees in memory of all those who were killed while serving had already been planted some years ago. The memorial takes the form of a 6-foot [[Mourne Mountains|Mourne]] granite monument. The event was attended by around 100 UDR families, joined by the [[Secretary of State for Northern Ireland|Northern Ireland Minister of State]], [[Hugo Swire]], DUP Junior Minister [[Jonathan Bell (politician)|Jonathan Bell]] and UUP deputy leader [[John McCallister]]. A parade to the monument was led by the band of the 1st Battalion Royal Irish Regiment.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/regional/new-tribute-to-bravery-of-udr-1-3789302 |title=New tribute to bravery of UDR β Regional β Belfast Newsletter |publisher=Newsletter.co.uk |date=2012-04-30 |access-date=2013-07-17}}</ref> <gallery mode="packed-hover" heights="150px" align="center" caption="A selection of the memorials to the fallen of the UDR found in churches, High Streets and memorial gardens in Northern Ireland and England."> File:UDR Memorial 20110612 0920.jpg|UDR Memorial Statue, Lisburn, June 2011 File:UDR Memorial, Lisburn, November 2010 (01).JPG|Roll of Honour Memorial, War Memorial, Lisburn.
