“Contained within the Baton will be a written message that will be opened and read at the Commonwealth Games in Australia next year,” the 90-year-old royal said, addressing the crowd. “However, there is an even more powerful message to be seen and experienced as the Baton passes from hand to hand, from seashore to mountaintop, through cities, towns, and villages. It is the message of a peace-building Commonwealth.”
The baton will travel to all continents and visit all 70 countries in the Commonwealth. It will be carried by thousands of different people from different countries and backgrounds.
