The Queen’s Baton Relay is the traditional curtain raiser to the Commonwealth Games and has been an inclusion in the Games programme since the Cardiff Games 1958 and involves a programme of visits of the Baton to all 72 Commonwealth Countries before completing its journey with its entry into the arena for the Opening Ceremony of the Games. The Baton Relay commences from Buckingham Palace with the current reigning Monarch passing the Baton to a runner from the host nation.
For the Birmingham 2022 Games the Baton arrived in Jersey in June 2022 and enjoyed 2 days touring around the Island engaging with many Islanders from all walks of life.
