Ahah!
 Different definitions - in UK and its dependencies a 'ceremonial
free kick' is one with a wall.
 I have now worked out that in the former dependencies, like the US,
a 'ceremonial free kick' is any free kick with a whistle used to
restart.
 George Bernard Shaw was right again!

 It's in the FIFA " INTERPRETATION OF THE LAWS OF THE GAME AND
GUIDELINES FOR REFEREES" 
 Use of whistle   
 The whistle is needed to: 
 • start play (1st, 2nd half), after a goal 
 • stop play: 
 – for a free kick or penalty kick 
 – if the match is suspended or abandoned 
 – when a period of play has ended due to the expiration of time 
 • restart play at : 
 – free kicks when the wall is ordered back the appropriate
distance 
 – penalty kicks 
 • restart play after it has been stopped due to: 
 – the issue of a yellow or red card for misconduct 
 – injury 
 – substitution 
 The whistle is NOT needed to: 
 • stop play for:  
 – a goal kick, corner kick or throw-in 
 – a goal 
 • restart play from: 
 – a free kick, goal kick, corner kick, throw-in

 I haven't gone back to check, but I believe that all that is
required is a "signal" under TLOTG not necessarily a whistle.
