Queen`s Baton Relay Community CelebrationPrint Page 
The plaque commemorates the Queen`s Baton Relay community celebration which was held in March 2018.
The Queen’s Baton Relay is a Games tradition that celebrates the Commonwealth’s diversity, inspires community pride and excites people about the world-class festival of sports and culture to come. The Queen’s Baton carried a message from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II that called the Commonwealth’s athletes to come together in peaceful and friendly competition in 2018.
Starting on 13 March 2017 at Buckingham Palace, the Baton travelled on an epic 388-day journey through all nations and territories of the Commonwealth. The Queen’s Baton arrived on the Gold Coast for the XXI Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony on 4 April 2018, where the message from the Baton was read by Prince Charles, as the Queen's representative, to officially open the Games.
