Note
This -ise form is the standard British spelling everywhere except in Oxford spelling, which keeps -ize and writes realized, just as American English does. Whichever a text chooses, it should hold to it through every verb of the kind. The one form does both past jobs, alone and after have or be: the council realised too late, and the plan was finally realised.
