Has anyone heard any more news about whether or not there is going to be some kind of tribute to Q/Desmond in DAD/Bond 20? There was talk of a funeral/memorial service, but that was quite some time ago, since then I've heard nothing.

We've had a nice tribute at the beginning of the The World is not Enough video (DVD too I assume). No disprespect meant to Desmond, but isn't that enough?
Bernard Lee, who played just as big a role as DL, passed away and some many years later he simply appears in a painting in the background that you just might catch if you're quick enough.

The talk of the memorial service appeared with a bogus script for TWINE...a story that DL dismissed in the official TWINE magazine. Another bogus script for NAT (DAD) mentions Q., but not the memorial service itself.

And perhaps now, DL's portrait will hang beside BL's.

I think the best way to have a tribute to DL would be not to have any reference to his character (Major Boothroyd), i.e. funeral or mention of his death/retirement because he has always requested that someone else should replace him and that he should be written out of the series in a good way.
The way they left it in TWINE was very fitting, and a moving and very memorable scene. I think it would be best to leave it how he wanted it.
