 During their lifetime , all members of the Order of the Garter are entitled to display their heraldic crests and banners in St. George 's Chapel , Windsor . While the Garter stall plates ( see below ) stay in the chapel permanently , the crests and banners of deceased knights are , following presentation at the High Altar , removed from the chapel . Sometimes they are then given to institutions that were connected with the late knight , or kept privately depending on family wishes .
