The Queen’s Baton Relay 2010 Delhi commenced from Buckingham Palace,
London, on the 29 October 2009. The baton’s journey symbolises the unity
and shared ideals of the Commonwealth Nations, and enables communities
beyond the Host City to share the celebrations. It also serves a
functional purpose in carrying Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth-II’s message
to the athletes from Buckingham Palace in London to the opening ceremony
of the Games.
The baton will be passing through thousands of hands, and traveling by
different modes of transport across land, air and sea. The relay will
conclude after the final “Torch bearer” enters the Jawaharlal Nehru
Stadium during the Opening Ceremony of the XIX Commonwealth Games on 3
October 2010 where Her Majesty’s message will be opened and read,
officially.
