I wouldn't have kept them in. I would have either cut them, ditched Tennant's monologue from them and/or cut some of the wandering-through-No-Man's-Land baggage from the WW1 scene.
I see I'm in the minority here but they really didn't work for me. The story had ended and was being dragged on to fill time, and what they did put in seemed ridiculously Hollywood and schmaltzy with the Doctor N' Martha Poppy Crew. Just a shot of Tim at the War Memorial and the Doctor and Martha standing off to the side without all this other stuff that belonged on a Remembrance Day episode.
